KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops will not be setting off fireworks for this year’s Canada Day.
In a release issued Wednesday (May 25), the City says the decision was made with consideration to last year’s excessive heat and dry climate.
According to Kamloops Fire Rescue, opting to take a proactive approach and not go forward with a fireworks display is meant to limit the potential for an interface fire.
“Our landscape in Kamloops is very susceptible to drying out quickly. As the temperature rises in the coming months, so will the fire danger rating,” said Deputy Fire Chief Ryan Cail. “With weather becoming more extreme and less predictable, we have a responsibility to protect life, property and the environment.”
