Warnings as cigarette butts causing fires in B.C.

This week's hot, dry weather has increased the risk of wildfires in many parts of B.C. The risk still exists despite an almost province-wide campfire ban.
Richmond RCMP say a dangerous grass fire was caused by a discarded cigarette butt this week. As Tom Popyk reports, officials are pleading for people to be more careful.
