Campfire ban to be reinstated across Kamloops Fire Centre
The second campfire ban of the summer season will begin Friday July 7 at noon in the Kamloops Fire Centre.
The ban comes after nearly a week of seasonably humid and hot weather, which is expected to increase throughout the week. The Kamloops Fire Centre says this has increased the risk of human-caused fires, and according to Wildfire B.C., human-caused fires account for 40 per cent of wildfires per year. The ban does not include the use of outdoor stoves, however. According to the Kamloops Fire Centre regulations, outdoor stoves that are CSA or ULC rated are okay to use as long as the flames do not exceed 15cm. As per the Wildfire Regulation, an outdoor stove is a CSA-rated or ULC-rated device used outdoors for cooking, heat, or ambiance that burns charcoal briquettes, liquid fuel, or gaseous fuel and has a flame height that is less than 15 cm tall.
