British Columbia
This season has been an expensive one for B.C. so far, with the province officially crossing the hundred million mark in terms of firefighting costs.
Fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek told the Canadian Press around $105 million has been spent so far, much more than the $63 million allotted in the provincial budget. In fact, in the last five years the wildfire budget has been exceeded with the exception of the 2011/2012 period.
B.C.'s wildfires, while threatening some communities, have not resulted in the same kind of widespread evacuations as in Saskatchewan, but the majority of the population has felt their effects, in the form of wildfire smoke widespread enough to drive down air quality.
