BC Wildfires Merge, Exposing Province's Vulnerability The merger of two wildfires near Clinton, B. C. , into a single blaze has brought renewed attention to the province's struggle with an unprecedented wildfire season.
The Pear Lake and Fiftynine Creek fires, which have already forced hundreds of people from their homes, now pose a unified threat stretching across Highway 97.
This development is not just about two fires merging; it's also about the broader context in which these blazes are raging.
