Category 2 Fire Ban To Be Rescinded
PRINCE GEORGE – A category 2 fire ban in the Prince George Fire Centre will be rescinded Saturday at noon. The move is being made due to recent rainfall and cooler temperatures in the region.
That means fireworks and burn barrels can be used again. However, fire officials are asking the public to be cautious with any outdoor fires.
Category 2 fires include:
- burn barrels and burn cages
- air curtain burners
- binary exploding targets
- sky lanterns
- fireworks, including firecrackers
- stubble or grass fires over an area smaller than 2,000 square metres
