RDNO lifts campfire ban for electoral areas B and C, but Vernon, Enderby keep ban in place
“The fire danger rating within the City of Vernon remains high,” said Vernon fire Chief David Lind. “For this reason, the campfire ban will remain in place in Vernon until conditions improve, to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.
“Our area continues to experience hot and dry conditions. We still have a high fire danger rating that is a going concern. By Sept. 9, we are expecting a change in weather will reduce the risks and be a more suitable time to lift the campfire ban. “This measure will help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety until the conditions improve.”4:40Must-have tech gear to make the most of remaining summer days
