🔥 Know before you light.

Fire restrictions can change quickly. BC Wildfire Service sets provincial bans, but local fire departments may have stricter rules in place.

👉 Always check both before lighting a fire.
If in doubt, leave the campfire out - don’t light one.

Even when campfires are allowed, keep them small and always attended. Fully extinguish before leaving.
