The ban on campfires is being lifted across most of the province – just in time for the rain to begin so nobody will want to go camping.
Rain and cooler temperatures have reduced the wildfire risk in most parts of the province, so the BC Wildfire Service has rescinded campfire bans in specific regions effective at noon (Pacific Time) today (Sept. 7).

Campfire bans will be fully rescinded throughout the Prince George Fire Centre, Cariboo Fire Centre and Kamloops Fire Centre.
Campfire bans will be partially rescinded (for specific areas only) in the Coastal Fire Centre, Southeast Fire Centre and Northwest Fire Centre.
“Please check with local government authorities for any other restrictions before lighting any fire,” said a news release.
