It was a busy weekend for B.C. Wildfire crews as thousands of lightning strikes sparked dozens of new fires across the province.

More than 20,000 lightning strikes were recorded Sunday, coupled with high winds and hot weather, creating a perfect storm for new starts given the ongoing dry conditions in the province's Interior and north.

Additionally, existing fires continued to grow, forcing hundreds to leave their homes and putting hundreds more on standby should the situation devolve.

Here are images of what those wildfires and the efforts to stop them looked like over the past few days.
