Two out-of-control wildfires in central B-C have put a number of communities on evacuation alert.
The B-C Wildfire Service says the Dripping Water wildfire discovered on Thursday 600 kilometres north of Vancouver has now reached over 200 hectares.
Meanwhile, the Lost Valley Road wildfire over 400 kilometres northeast of Vancouver discovered on Saturday has now reached over 100 hectares.
Both fires have triggered evacuation alerts for nearby communities, where officials are recommending that residents plan escape routes, secure emergency accommodations and be ready to leave on short notice.
