Backyard & industrial fire bans lifted by Coastal Fire Centre
NANAIMO — All remaining fire bans on Vancouver Island will be lifted as of noon on Wednesday, Sept. 30.
The campfire ban was removed earlier this month, and the Coastal Fire Centre said category two and three open fires will now be permitted.
Category two fires include burn piles not exceeding two metres in height and three metres in width, or grass fires in an area not exceeding 0.2 hectares.
Also permitted again are tiki torches, outdoor stoves, sky lanterns, fireworks, burn barrels and binary exploding targets.
