Fire Danger Rating Moderate

The Fire Danger Rating is now MODERATE for the District of Sooke. Forest fuels are drying and there is an increased risk of surface fires starting. As warm and dry conditions continue, perform all forest activities with caution.

Campfires are still permitted, but keep your campfire small, and always have a water source present.

Do not have a campfire when windy, choose a proper fire pit or make a ring of rocks at least three meters from trees, shrubs, structures, and debris, and do not leave a campfire unattended for ANY amount of time.

Before you leave the area, your campfire MUST be fully extinguished. The ashes of your fire must be cool to the touch.
