British Columbia wildfire officials say late-season heat waves and heavy smoke are signalling a longer and more challenging wildfire season extending into the fall.

The Prince George RCMP are on the lookout for 36-year-old Kristina Marie Randahl. According to police, she is wanted on an unendorsed warrant for two counts of failing to comply with a release order. 

Smoky skies remain in Prince George and parts of northern B.C. today (Wednesday), with it forecast to carry over to tomorrow.

Officials said there were no critical injuries after a B.C. Wildfire Service helicopter made a “forced landing” near Pemberton late Wednesday morning. 

The head of a union representing close to 5,000 ferry workers in British Columbia says he is optimistic about the future of shipbuilding in the province after attending this week’s “Made in Canada” summit.
