Happy campers: wet weather means prohibition postponed
KAMLOOPS — There is still no campfire prohibition in place for the Kamloops Fire Centre, and judging from the forecast, a ban won’t be necessary for at least the next few days.
Last year, the province banned campfires in the Kamloops area on July 3.
Fire Information Officer Max Birkner says even though July has been uncharacteristically wet this year, this isn’t the latest the fire centre has gone without a ban.
Birkner says we went without a campfire ban for nearly the entire summer just five years ago.
