British Columbia officials are still advising residents of the province to avoid traveling to areas affected by wildfires in order to keep roads clear and ensure space for potential evacuees. The mudslide coincided with the first heavy rainfall in weeks, which was welcomed by teams battling the wildfires during an extremely hot and dry summer.
