B.C. Premier John Horgan provided an update on the province's wildfire situation on Tuesday afternoon.

The news conference follows a visit to Lillooet where Horgan, Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth, and Forestry Minister Katrine Conroy met with representatives from Lytton, the small village that was levelled by fire last week, as well as officials from Emergency Management BC and the BC Wildfire Service.

There are currently 214 active fires burning in B.C. with 39 sparked in the last 48 hours. About a third of the fires burning are suspected to be caused by lightning, according to the B.C. Wildfire Service.
