With Wildfire season coming quick, the BC Wildfire Service is welcoming back their seasonal staff and will start up their annual training in the next few weeks.
Training in the Bulkley Fire Zone will take place throughout May and the early part of June and some of the areas they will be located at include the intersection of Tatlow Road and Chapman Road in Smithers and the Coalmine, Skilhorn and Telkwa River Road areas in Telkwa.
The official start date for this training was April 30th and it will end on June 15th.
While the training is going on, community members may see smoke and increased personnel activity emanating from those areas.
Training start times will depend on the site, venting conditions and weather.
All burning that happens during training will only happen if conditions are suitable and the burns will be closely monitored and controlled.
To report either a wildfire or burning violation, call 1 800-663-5555 and check bcwildfire.ca for daily fire updates.
