The federal government today announced it's sending the Canadian Forces into British Columbia after the province declared a state of emergency in response to wildfires still raging out of control. Wildfire Service "extinguish wildfires and monitor the situation across B.C." Wildfire Service previously referred to the fire as the Inkaneep Creek wildfire, but changed the name on Tuesday. As of 2:30 p.m. PT, the fire was estimated to cover 20 square kilometres — up from seven square kilometres on Monday night. Hundreds of wildfires are now burning across B.C., including more than 100 wildfires concentrated in the Interior.
