The BC Wildfire Service has announced a five-month open fire ban covering much of the province’s Interior, as fire season gets off to an early start.
The ban on Category 3 fires in the Kamloops fire centre will run from May 3 to Oct. 11 and will prohibit people burning three or more fires on a property at the same time, or any single fire burning a pile larger than two metres in height or three metres in width.
