# Open Fire and Campfire Bans Enacted Across British Columbia

Several open fire and campfire bans are being implemented over the next two days in parts of British Columbia as authorities prepare for potential new wildfires. The restrictions are being put in place ahead of a forecasted threat of dry lightning in the province.

The bans prohibit both open fires and campfires in affected areas, representing a precautionary measure by crews working to prevent ignition sources during the period of increased fire risk. The timing of the restrictions, rolling out over consecutive days, suggests a phased implementation across different regions of the province experiencing elevated fire danger conditions.
