Open fire prohibition set for Kamloops Fire Centre
KAMLOOPS – Effective at noon on May 15, 2013, the size of open fires will be
restricted in most of the Kamloops Fire Centre to help prevent human-caused
wildfires and protect the public.
This prohibition will apply to all areas of the Kamloops Fire Centre except the
Clearwater Fire Zone and the Salmon Arm Fire Zone. Anyone conducting Category 2 or
3 fires outside of those two zones must extinguish any such fires by noon on May
15.
This prohibition will remain in effect until Oct. 15, 2013, or until further
notice. A map of the affected areas is available online at: http://ow.ly/kewIE
