BARRIERE, B.C. — The District of Barriere has brought in a ban all fires larger than a campfire as of 12:00 p.m. Saturday (May 3).
They say this ban on all Category 2 and Category 3 burns is being implemented because of “high seasonal temperatures, continued drought conditions, and resource limitations.”
Campfires no larger than 0.5m x 0.5m in size will still be allowed in the District of Barriere.
“For any burning, you are required to monitor and remain at your fire and have hand tools or water available to quickly action a fire mishap,” the District of Barriere said. “Any unattended fire or fire found to be in non-compliance of By-Law 55 will be subject to fines.”
