Danger Class Moving to EXTREME on July 18th
Wednesday, July 17, 2024 at 7:47AM The Fire Danger Class Rating is forecasted to move to EXTREME Danger on Thursday, July 18th, by the three reporting fire weather stations we use as data points for Thetis Island.
This means that all High Hazard Activities in or near the forested areas of Thetis will be prohibited after 1 pm on July 20th. Early shift (work to 1pm and then a 2-hour fire watch posted) can continue on July 18, 19 and 20th and then must cease.
Do not hesitate to report any daytime columns of smoke to 911. The Province-wide shutdown of all outdoor fires, including campfires, continues. You can use approved propane stove or campfire appliances during the complete ban, but no solid fuel fires are allowed.
Thank you for being vigilant and safe as we move into the hot and dry wildfire months.
