Extended campfire ban ZZ

lulululu

The campfire ban brought in last weekend has been extended to other parts of the
Coastal region and to the interior (Kamloops Fire Centre). So no campfires for
Canada Day but it's for a good cause! As ever, you should never have a campfire
in the alpine anyway, and backcountry campfires are forbidden in most provincial
parks.

The region is tinder-dry right now and as keen hikers, the last thing we want is
for a careless incident to lead to backcountry closures. The Elaho and Cisco
Road forest fires are still burning, and are not yet fully contained. Last
weekend there were 4 brush fires in one day in West Vancouver alone.
