British Columbia Highway 1 through the Fraser Canyon has been reopened, but active wildfire operations continue in the area.The route, which had been closed since July 7 due to the rapid expansion of the Brunswick wildfire complex near Boston Bar, is now open with limited speed and lane restrictions.Officials warn that the two wildfires—Brunswick Creek and Ainslie Creek—remain out of control, with the latter burning at 158.47 square kilometers.Evacuation orders and alerts are still in effect, and drivers are urged to avoid stopping in the fire zone.

Firefighters are utilizing cooler weather and cloud cover to conduct direct attacks on both fires, focusing on areas where the flames are backing down slopes.

Despite favorable conditions persisting through the weekend, high winds and heat are expected to return by Monday and Tuesday, potentially increasing fire risks.

The fires are suspected to be human-caused, and 18 active wildfires are currently burning in the province, four of which are classified as out of control.Authorities emphasize the importance of public compliance with safety measures to prevent further complications.
