Campfire Ban Lifted on Thetis Island August 30

The campfire prohibition will be lifted in all regions of the Coastal Fire Centre area beginning 12:00 noon, Pacific Standard Time (PST), on Wednesday, August 28, 2024. ON THETIS ISLAND IT WILL BE LIFTED ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 30TH.

Although the fire danger has declined in the Coastal Fire Centre due to recent rainfall and cooler, more seasonal temperatures, the public is strongly encouraged to continue exercising extreme caution with any campfire. It is the responsibility of the individual to ensure that burning is done in a safe and responsible manner and in accordance with regulations.

While campfires will be allowed in the Coastal Fire Centre, Category 2 and Category 3 open fires remain prohibited, including the use of fireworks, sky lanterns, binary exploding targets, burn barrels, burn cages and air curtain burners. These restrictions will remain in place until October 31, 2024, or until the Order is rescinded.

Thetis Island campfires must have a Fire Permit in place. Go to www.thetisislandfire.ca and follow the link to Fire Permits to apply for a Fire Permit for campfires only.
