Campfire ban to be rescinded in Cariboo Fire Centre
WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — Campfires will be allowed in the Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) this weekend.
Effective 12:00 noon Friday (June 16), the CFC says its Category One campfire prohibition will be rescinded throughout its area and the Tsilhqot’in (Xeni Gwet’in) Declared Title Area.
A campfire is defined as an open fire that burns piled material no larger than 0.5 metres high and 0.5 metres wide. The following precautions must be in place when lighting or making use of a campfire:
- there is ready access to a shovel or at least eight litres of water the entirety of the time the campfire is lit
- there is a fuel break around the campfire, free of any debris or combustible materials
- the fire is fully extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the campfire for any length of time
