Fire Ban & Restrictions Reminder

As warm and dry weather continues, everyone needs to be responsible and vigilant. When the fire threat is this severe, it can challenge fire suppression efforts.

Sending out a reminder that ALL burning and high-risk activities are PROHIBITED within the District of Sooke after receiving several inquiries. During extreme fire rating conditions, and in adherence with the Wildfire Act, high risk activities are prohibited. Learn more about what high risk activities are here: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/.../for.../high-risk-activities...

Fire prevention is a shared responsibility, human-caused wildfires are completely preventable and divert critical resources away from other response priorities.
