Fires
A campfire (the rules call it a Category 1 fire) can be no bigger than 0.5 m high and 0.5 m wide. Build it on level ground away from tents and trees, clear it down to bare dirt, and keep a shovel, axe or 8 litres of water within reach. Never leave it unattended. During a campfire prohibition you can use only an approved stove, and bans change quickly, so check the BC Wildfire Service fire bans and restrictions the day you leave. Full open fire rules. To report a wildfire, call *5555 on a cell phone or 1-800-663-5555.
