Representatives from the RCMP will also be there.

There are currently 102 wildfires burning in B.C.

On Tuesday, officials are expecting a high potential for lightning-caused wildfire starts, particularly in the central Interior and the Okanagan, which are receiving limited precipitation and dry lightning. Elevated temperatures and heightened wind gusts will continue to linger in the Okanagan and southeastern regions of B.C., which can increase fire behaviour.

The service said that of particular concern are smaller fires located in steep terrain where wind and slope alignment can rapidly accelerate fire growth.

This story will be updated following the 11 a.m. PT press conference.
