Fire Danger Rating HIGH

The Fire Danger Rating is now HIGH for the District of Sooke. We are entering the longest spell of warm, dry weather we have had this year. Fires may start easily, burn quickly and challenge fire suppression efforts.

Campfires are still permitted at this time but be responsible. Keep your campfire small, ensure it has a fuel-free area around it (20 feet from property lines and structures), never leave it unattended, have a water source present at all times and ensure it is fully out (cool to the touch) before leaving the area.
