District of Hope follows suit on fire ban

Hope Standard - Wednesday July 28, 2010

On Friday, July 23, open burning was prohibited by the Coastal Fire Centre to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. That ban included all area BC Parks, crown and private lands, but did not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department.
