“Persistent bear activity” forced fire crews to leave a camp in British Columbia, Canada, authorities said Thursday.
The camp near the community of Gold Bridge was housing crews working on the Downton Lake wildfire, which was reported on July 13 and has consumed more than 9,000 hectares, according to the British Columbia Wildfire Service. “I think the bear wanted to help us on the fire line,” the Dashwood Fire Department wrote on social media, sharing a video of a bear wandering around near the camp.
Fire activity remains low on both wildfires of the Bendor Range Complex,” the fire service said Thursday. The blaze is one of around 420 active wildfires burning across the province amid Canada’s unprecedented fire season, according to the British Columbia Wildfire Service. Experts had warned that the many wildfires scorching large swaths of wildland from coast to coast across Canada will likely displace, injure and kill local wildlife. “Wildlife will be displaced.
