The B-C Wildfire Service has banned campfires across the province starting at noon today.
The ban will remain in effect until October 15th, as will a ban on larger open fires announced last week. Campfires are defined as anything smaller than 0.5 metres wide by 0.5 metres tall.
Last week’s open-fire bans also prohibit the use of fireworks, sky lanterns, tiki torches and other similar torches and burn barrels. Conservation Officers will be conducting targeted patrols to ensure the bans are enforced.
An Illegal fire could result in a fine of $1,150 or more.
