I've been in that part of BC where the fires are happening. It's the dry region beyond the Rocky Mountains. Clouds coming in from the Pacific Ocean rain themselves out when the wind forces them rise above the mountains. So the other side of the mountains range gets very little rain. Grass is dried yellow in the summer. Easy for fires to start.
- dc3k 5y agoThe Rocky Mountains are hundreds of kilometres east of the Fraser Valley. The mountains between the coast and the Fraser Valley is the Coast range.

- jbay808 5y agoYou mean the coastal mountains, right? Beyond the Rockies is Alberta. Generally the grass goes yellow here in the summer, even right on the coastline in Vancouver Island and up the sunshine coast.
