The B.C. Wildfire Service says there were 1,300 lightning strikes Wednesday, many of which started fires in the southeast region of the province. More than 30 fires are burning out of control in that region. The province says that the continued hot and dry conditions are an ongoing challenge for firefighters. The CBC's Corey Bullock reports from Cranbrook.
