Yard Waste Fire Ban In Effect

As of May 15th (last Monday), no permits were being issued for yard waste fires on Thetis Island.  Please report all daytime smoke column sightings to 9-1-1. 

Campfire permits are still being issued for small (regulation size <18”) evening campfires.  Do not light a campfire in windy conditions.  Have a water source available and shovel etc. and always supervise the campfire; extinguish thoroughly.   

This is also a good time to get out your CSA certified propane campfire appliance and check that the hose and fittings are in good working order.  When a campfire ban goes into effect later this season, propane campfire appliances are normally still allowed and do not require a fire permit.
