A partnership between the Forest Enhancement Society of BC (FESBC) and 100 Mile House Development Corporation is reducing the risk of wildfires for people living in and around 100 Mile House.

Piles of woody debris will be burned in the 70 Mile House and 100 Mile House areas this fall and winter to help reduce wildfire risks in the region.

BC Wildfire Service crews are planning to burn piles of woody debris in two locations southeast of 100 Mile House over the next six weeks to reduce wildfire risks in the area.

The BC Wildfire Service will help BC Parks conduct a 100-hectare ecosystem restoration burn in the Dry Farm area of the Churn Creek Protected Area, about 75 kilometres west of 100 Mile House, between April 17 and May 17, 2019.

The 100 Mile Nordic Ski Society will be able to make upgrades to existing ski trails, thanks to a $388,375 grant from the Province.

Smoke may be visible north of Canim Lake, near 100 Mile House, due to large-scale industrial burning that’s currently underway to clear out wood debris and reduce wildfire risks in the area.

The Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations are planning to conduct an ecosystem restoration burn in the Churn Creek Protected Area between March 15 and April 29, weather permitting. 

Smoke and flames from a prescribed burn may be visible north of the Village of Clinton and west of Highway 97 from March 11-31, 2015.

Natural resource officers from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations visited a series of recreational spots in the Cariboo Aug. 3-5 to help ensure that residents and visitors enjoyed a safe B.C. Day long weekend.
