Campfires to Be Allowed Throughout Kamloops Fire Centre
Category 1 campfires will again be allowed, while larger open fires and devices such as fireworks and burn barrels stay banned.
- The BC Wildfire Service will lift the Category 1 campfire ban across the Kamloops Fire Centre starting at noon on Thursday, Sept. 3, permitting small recreational fires previously restricted.
- While the campfire ban is lifting, Category 2 and Category 3 fires remain prohibited, and fireworks, burn barrels, and air curtain burners continue to be restricted for wildfire prevention.
- The BCWS defines a Category 1 campfire as any fire no larger than 0.5 metres high by 0.5 metres wide; the agency advises the public to remain vigilant when enjoying permitted fires.
- Violations of burning bans may result in a $1,150 ticket, an administrative penalty of up to $10,000, or up to $100,000 in fines if convicted in court; report violations by calling 1-800-663-5555.
- Municipalities may impose their own restrictions, such as the year-round campfire ban within Kelowna city limits; residents should verify local bylaws for Parks and regional districts before burning.
