Campfire Ban Still in Effect

Despite the lifting of the campfire ban north of Courtenay on Provincial lands on Tuesday, the southern half of Vancouver Island remains dangerously dry, as evidenced by the Mill Bay wildfire last Thursday and the Paldi fire on This past weekend. There is still a complete open fire ban on Thetis Island. We will need several successive days of heavy rain to lower the risk from EXTREME Hazard. Please report any smoke columns and continue to be vigilant.

Thank you.
