One week after it was instituted, Kamloops Fire Centre campfire ban is lifted

KAMLOOPS — Rain and cooler conditions have resulted in the campfire ban being lifted in the Kamloops Fire Centre — just a week after it came into effect.

The B.C. Wildfire Service says the campfire prohibition will be lifted in the Kamloops Fire Centre as of Friday (June 16) at 12:00 noon.

Category 2 and 3 fires remain prohibited.

The first campfire ban of the season was put in place last Thursday (June 8) after unseasonably warm and dry conditions.
