VANCOUVER (CP) - B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell lifted a provincewide state of emergency on Sunday as rain continued to fall on hissing flames across the province. Campbell said the solid work of everyone involved in battling the worst forest fire season in 50 years, along with the favourable weather, is the reason the province lifted the state of emergency that had been in place since Aug. 2. The next step is completing damage assessment, Campbell said from Montana, where he was attending a meeting of western premiers and western U.S. governors.
