The bans, which are among the earliest implemented in the province’s history, cover multiple fire centers including the Cariboo, Coastal, Kamloops, and Southeast regions. Authorities emphasized that ignorance of the restrictions is not a valid defense, urging outdoor enthusiasts to verify local regulations before starting fires. At present, 136 wildfires are actively burning across the province, highlighting the urgency of compliance with fire safety measures.
