VANCOUVER — A campfire ban is slated to take effect this week in the same area of B.C.’s southern Interior where the province’s largest-ever wildfire burned last summer.
The ban is in addition to similar restrictions imposed this month covering woodlands across the southern third of the province.
Starting Tuesday at noon, campfires will not be permitted in the Cariboo Fire Centre, which includes Quesnel and Williams Lake, cities that saw mass evacuations last year as fires charred more than 5,400 square kilometres of bush.
