Campfire ban to be reintroduced in Kamloops Fire Centre
Global News
A re-instated campfire ban applies to all public and private land within the Kamloops Fire Centre jurisdiction, unless specified otherwise by local government.
Campfires will soon be banned again within the Kamloops Fire Centre.
On Tuesday, the BC Wildfire Service announced that the ban will start on Friday, July 7 at noon.
The ban is being re-introduced “to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.”
In early June, BC Wildfire introduced a campfire ban for the region but rescinded it one week later due to cool, wet weather.
Now, though, hot weather is about to bake the Southern Interior. For the Okanagan, Environment Canada is projecting sunny skies and temperatures in the low 30s.
BC Wildfire says when the ban is reintroduced, it will remain in effect until Oct. 13 or until it’s rescinded – the same wording it also used in early June.
The ban applies to all public and private land within the Kamloops Fire Centre jurisdiction unless specified otherwise by local government. For example, the City of Kelowna has a year-round ban on campfires.
