Camp Fire Ban to start Thursday July 26th at noon.
Several areas throughout the province are currently experiencing hot and dry conditions, causing forest fuels to dry out and an increase in the fire danger rating. To help prevent human caused wildfires and protect public safety, new fire bans and prohibitions are being put in place in the Kamloops, Southeast, and Coastal Fire Centres.
Effective at noon on Thursday, July 26, 2018, campfires will be prohibited throughout the Southeast Fire Centre and the Kamloops Fire Centre.
