A fire ban will be in effect as of April 16, 2020. The fire ban affects the City of Enderby and the Shuswap River Fire Protection District.
The fire ban is consistent with the Kamloops Fire Centre direction, which prohibits:
- Category 2 open fires;
- Category 3 open fires;
- Resource Management open fires;
- the use of fireworks;
- the use of sky lanterns; and
- the use of burn barrels or burn cages of any size or description (except when used for a campfire*).
*Note that the City of Enderby Good Neighbour Bylaw provides additional regulations for campfires and outdoor fireplaces which must be followed if you live within the City. The City also has a permit system for open burning; all permit holders must not open burn during the ban.
Please review this poster for information about the different kinds of fires.
This ban is in effect until further notice or the Kamloops Fire Centre rescinds its prohibition.
This ban follows a temporary amendment to the Province’s Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation that expires on April 15, 2020, which affected the City of Enderby and part of Area F (Rural Enderby) of the Regional District of North Okanagan.
