Fire Bans
Fire bans are enacted and managed provincially by the BC Wildfire Service. Conditions and restrictions may change rapidly and unpredictably, and we rely on the Wildfire Service to provide the most current information.
To view current fire bans in effect, wildfire news, or resources on prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery, please visit the BC Wildfire Service website.
