Campfire Ban

This is a reminder that a campfire ban is still in effect for the District of Sooke. Yesterday, the campfire prohibition was only lifted for the North Island Central Coast Forest District. Please note that the backyard burning season opens November 1st.

This campfire ban does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or portable campfire devices that use briquettes, liquid, or gaseous fuel, provided they are CSA or ULC approved, and the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres.

Human-caused wildfires are completely preventable and divert critical resources away from lightning-caused fires. To report a wildfire, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cell phone.
