Soaring temperatures prompted BC to declare a province-wide Campfire ban as of noon, June 30th, 2021. Campfires are defined as any fire smaller than 0.5 metres in diameter and 0.5 metres high. Larger open fires have been banned across BC since Friday, June 25, 2021.
The ban also covers sky lanterns, fireworks, burn barrels and burn cages, binary exploding targets, tiki torches, chimineas, air curtain burners, and outdoor stoves or portable campfires without a Canadian Standards Association or Underwriter Laboratories of Canada rating. The Fire ban will be in effect until October 15, 2021, or until rescinded.
