Northwest Fire Bans in effect including Prince Rupert area

All of the Northwest is under a Fire Ban as wildfires spread
across many parts of the region

With tinder dry conditions in most of British Columbia and a weekend of lightning strikes making things inland that much worse, the Province has put in place a Northwest Fire Ban for all categories of fires.

The current focus for BC Wildfire Service personnel is the Bulkley Valley-Nechako region and the situation in the Northern part of Stikine. 

The details from the Province for the Northwest ban can be reviewed here.

Reinforcing the message for North Coast residents was the Prince Rupert Fire/Rescue Department which issued its own advisory on Monday evening, outlining the restrictions on fire pits, campfires and such.

More notes on the ever changing wildfire situation in the Northwest can be reviewed from our archive page.
