Fire Prohibitions Start 15 May

Effective at 12 noon on Tuesday, May 15, the size of open fires will be restricted in most of the Kamloops Fire Centre to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect the public. Read more at the BC Wildfire Management website.

Also of note, since April 1, Kamloops Fire Centre crews have responded to wildfire incidents covering approximately 300 hectares. Many of these wildfires resulted from poorly planned open burning. Everyone conducting open burns are encouraged to read this information bulletin.

Of particular note:

• Do not burn during windy conditions. Weather conditions can change quickly and carry embers to other combustible material and start new fires. 
• Never leave a fire unattended.
