Campfires and fireworks to be allowed again as Coastal Fire Centre lifts bans

Fall-like conditions across much of the region are rescinding most burning prohibitions in the Coastal Fire Centre. 

Category 1 and Category 2 prohibitions will be lifted in all areas of the Coastal Fire Centre Thursday, September 25 at noon. 

The Category 3 prohibition will remain in effect everywhere until October 31 or until the order is rescinded except for the North Island Centre Coast Forest District and Haida Gwaii Forest District. 

The use of campfires, fireworks, sky lanterns, wood-fired devices, binary exploding targets, burn barrels or cages, and controlled air incinerators will once again when these restrictions are eased. 

The move follows a campfire ban lift last week across much of the Coastal Fire Centre including the North Island and around Powell River.
