Open fire ban coming into effect

The Coastal Fire Centre is looking to ban campfires and open fires at noon tomorrow. (July 18th)

Haida Gwaii and an area known as the fog zone won’t be affected but a majority of our listening area will be impacted by this prohibition.

Natasha Broznitsky an Information Officer with the centre explains why this fire ban will be in place.

 

 

She says if you’re outside you should be cautious of any activities that could start a fire. Disposing of your cigarettes properly is important and also not parking your car in dry grass.

The fire danger rating throughout Coastal Fire Centre is mostly high and starting a fire could cost you $1150.
