Fire Ban at Regional Parks Expanded to Include Charcoal Barbeques
The following notice was distributed by the CRD yesterday (July 6, 2015)
Effective immediately charcoal brick and briquette barbeques are prohibited at all Regional Parks within the Capital Regional District due to the current extreme fire hazard rating.
Propane and gas barbeques are allowed under direct supervision.
The campfire ban at Island View Beach and Jordan River Regional Parks Campgrounds remains in effect. The bans are intended to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. Park visitors are asked to be aware of all spark sources and to report forest fires to 911.
