BC Ferries announcements warn travellers of fire risk on Gulf Islands
VANCOUVER — BC Ferries is doing its part to keep southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands safe and green as dry conditions raise the wildfire risk across the region.
Public service announcements are being broadcast on ferries to the southern Gulf Islands, urging travellers to practice wildfire safety and water conservation.
The messages ask travellers and Island residents to conserve water and use caution with cigarette butts, barbecues and all other heat producing items.
Questions are referred to local authorities on each island for specific details about fire bans or regulations.
