BC Wildfire Service crews will be assisting with two ecosystem restoration burns in the Cariboo Fire Centre this week.

BC Wildfire Service crews are planning to burn piles of woody debris near Fox Mountain over the next four weeks, depending on site and weather conditions.

Effective at noon on Thursday, Sept. 20, 2018, Category 3 open fires will again be allowed throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre’s jurisdiction due to weather conditions and a decreased wildfire risk in the region.
