This is so foolish just because it’s raining and wet out a fire can still start so easy. Thank you GBFD

Good afternoon, Everyone,
the Van anda fire district will have a complete fire ban on May 15 but it also may be in place before that.
Please be advised that the Coastal Fire Centre will be prohibiting Category 2 (back yard) and Category 3 (industrial) open fire effective 12:00 noon Friday May 17th, 2024. In addition to these prohibitions, the Coastal Fire Centre will also be restricting the following activities and equipment:
Fireworks
Sky Lanterns
Binary Exploding Targets
Burn Barrels or Burn Cages of any size or description
Air Curtain Burners
We will continue to evaluate the need for further prohibitions and restrictions but with the current forecast, I anticipate we are still a few weeks away from considering a Category 1 campfire prohibition.

May 15 is coming up fast just a reminder that’s when the fire band starts. It may change to an earlier date if we don’t get enough rain. Just be aware that the May 15 date isn’t set in stone.
