Seasonal fire restrictions take effect Friday
KAMLOOPS — Despite the wet spring, the Kamloops Fire Centre is putting seasonal fire restrictions in place effective this Friday.
Category 2 and 3 fires will be prohibited in the Merritt, Lillooet and Penticton Fire Zones, as well as the South Prohibition Area of the Kamloops Fire Zone.
The same categories will also be prohibited below 1,200 metres in the Vernon Fire Zone and the North Prohibition Area of the Kamloops Fire Zone.
Fire Information Officer Max Birkner says these categories refer to larger fires, and not campfires.
