There are approximately 2,000 wildfires in British Columbia each year. Of those, roughly half are person-caused, while the other half are lightning-caused.

 

Person-caused wildfires are those related to abandoned campfires, smoking, logging, railroads, brush or range burns, construction, recreationalists and arson. All person-caused wildfires are preventable. You can help prevent wildfires.
