The City of Kimberley is issuing a total open fire ban, to commence today, July 7.

All fire permits including barbecue pits will be suspended, noted Rick Prasad, Kimberley Fire Chief.
These prohibitions do not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, so long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres.
The use of a campfire apparatus that does not meet these specifications is prohibited.
