Environment Canada has ended its air quality advisories for southeastern British Columbia.

Previous advisories were issued due to wildfires burning locally and south of the border in Washington and Idaho.

BC Wildfire Service said on Twitter that strong winds were contributing to the growth and spread of four so-called "wildfires of note," in the Prince George Fire Centre area and in the Coastal Fire Centre region, limiting fire suppression operations.
