Three recent wildfires near 亚洲天堂 Lake were human-caused, the BC Wildfire Service confirmed, which is asking the public to avoid open burns amid warm, dry weather.

There were also two wildfires on the Southside.

"The Northwest Fire Centre has responded to an increase in human caused fires over the past few weeks," the BC Wildfire Service said in a press release May 1. "Human activity is the leading cause of wildfires in spring across B.C."

There were also two wildfires on the Southside.

The BC Wildfire Service expected risky conditions over the coming days, according to the press release.

"Beginning this evening, Thursday, May 1, temperatures are expected to climb, creating an environment where fine fuels dry out and become highly susceptible to ignition," the press release said. "In addition to increased temperatures, fire weather forecasters are anticipating strong, gusty southerly winds of 40-60 km/h on Friday, May 2, ahead of an approaching cold front."

"These warm, dry and windy conditions may continue through to Saturday, May 3. Please check your local weather forecast and avoid open fire use until these conditions have passed."

There were also two wildfires on the Southside.
