FORT NELSON, B.C. — A rainy day in and around Fort Nelson, B.C., was what fire crews were hoping for as they continue battle a wildfire burning 2.5 kilometres outside the town.

Evan Peck, a fire behaviour specialist with the BC Wildfire Service, says a low-pressure system brought much-needed rain Thursday, along with cooler temperatures and lower humidity, making for “excellent” conditions for fire suppression efforts.
