Please be advised that the campfire ban in the City of Enderby and the Shuswap River Fire Protection District is being extended to Thursday, September 16, 2021 at noon due to the current risk local to our region.
While the Kamloops Fire Centre has lifted the campfire prohibition in areas under its jurisdiction, this does not apply where a local authority provides fire protection. Based on a risk assessment of local conditions, the Enderby & District Fire Department, along with several other departments in the region, are extending the campfire ban for another week.
The following remain prohibited:
- campfires;
- open burning (all);
- fireworks;
- sky lanterns;
- burn barrels or burn cages;
- binary exploding targets;
- tiki and similar kinds of torches;
- chimineas;
- air curtain burners; and
- outdoor stoves or other portable campfire apparatus without a Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or Underwriter Laboratories of Canada (ULC) rating.
As of Friday, September 10 at noon, the ban on propane fireplaces and cooking in public places has been lifted.
In addition, open burning remains banned throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre area, including the City of Enderby and the Shuswap River Fire Protection District.
Thank you for following this prohibition and exercising caution.
