Campfire ban still in effect in Cranbrook
The City of Cranbrook is reminding residents that a campfire ban remains in effect for the city, just as it remains in place for the Cranbrook and Invermere fire zones and most of the rest of the Southeast Fire Centre.
The provincial government announced earlier today that rain and cooler temperatures have reduced the wildfire risk in most parts of the province, so the BC Wildfire Service has rescinded campfire bans in specific regions effective at noon (Pacific Time) on Friday, Sept. 7.
However, the campfire bans remain in place for Cranbrook, Invermere, Arrow and Kootenay Lake fire zones. This includes within the municipal boundary of the City of Cranbrook.
Campfire bans will be partially rescinded (for specific areas only) in the Southeast Fire Centre. Campfire bans will be fully rescinded throughout the Prince George Fire Centre, Cariboo Fire Centre and Kamloops Fire Centre.
