No Yard Waste Burning
Saturday, May 15, 2021 at 12:34PM No more Yard Waste Fire Permits will be issued until the end of fire season. All previously issued Yard Waste Fire Permits have now expired.
Campfire permits are still active and available.
Please be advised that we are moving into HIGH Hazard and all activities (chain-sawing, mowing, etc. with gas powered equipment) must be completed by 1 pm followed by a 2-hour fire watch.
Construction debris and stump-burning is never allowed, no matter what time of year. Stumps can be buried, shredded, or hauled off-island. Stump burning in the CVRD attracts a large fine and puts our island in higher danger of bush fires.
Please call 911 immediately if you see smoke in the woods during the daytime or a column of smoke. The bush fire off Foster Point Rd. on Friday, May 14th had obviously been burning for several hours before 911 was called at 5pm and took several hours to extinguish. The column of smoke could be seen from the ferry.
