Campfire Ban Coming Aug. 28 to Much of the B.C. Interior

The BC Wildfire Service announced that campfire bans will begin at noon on Thursday across the Kamloops and Cariboo regions to reduce the risk of wildfires.
Officials introduced these bans following a period of scorching weather and rising temperatures that heightened wildfire dangers.
The bans, complementing an existing Coastal Fire Centre ban, aim to reduce human-caused wildfires amid increasing wildfire activity.
Breaking the bans can lead to fines of $1,150, administrative penalties up to $10,000, or court convictions with $100,000 fines and possible jail time.
The bans will remain until mid-October in Kamloops and mid-September in Cariboo, indicating prolonged wildfire risk management efforts.
