The existing Category 1 campfire prohibition for the Cariboo Fire Centre and Tsilhqot’in (Xeni Gwet’in) Declared Title area will be extended.
It will go in effect at noon tomorrow (September 11) and will remain in effect until September 30 or until the order is rescinded.
A Category 1 campfire is defined as any fire smaller than 0.5 metres high by 0.5 metres wide.
The Cariboo Fire Centre said this prohibition applies to all areas in the Fire Centre that are outside of municipal boundaries.
In addition, it also applies to these land types within municipal boundaries:
Parks, conservancies and recreation areas.
Recreation sites, recreation trails, interpretive forest sites and trail-based recreation areas.
Ecological reserves
Wildlife management areas and private managed forest land.
Category 2 and Category 3 open fires remain prohibited through the entire Fire Centre and Tsilhqot’in (Xeni Gwet’in) Declared Title area.
