The B.C. Wildfire Service is rescinding a campfire ban for B.C.'s South Coast, which includes some B.C. Parks locations. But some municipalities in the Sea-to-Sky and Sunshine Coast regions are keeping the ban due to tinder dry conditions.
looks like a campfire gone bad near the lookout and train tracks this morning. It was visible from town at 6:30AM
Campfires are still banned until Friday. But even then, please be extremely careful with any fire. The bush remains extremely dry under the surface.
It's the second week of May. Wildfire season in Alberta and NE BC has begun.
