The venting index today is poor and tomorrow is good. This may change throughout the day. Please burn responsibly and respect your neighbors. If your smoke becomes a nuisance you will be asked to put your fire out.
Outdoor burning will be shut down on April 30.
After that date campfires only will be allowed unless a full closure is initiated. It is drying up quickly out there.
Backyard burning and burn barrels are now allowed without a permit, subject to the venting index. However, machine piles or category 3 piles must be registered(1-888-797-1717) and be inspected by an authorized member of the fire department before burning.(https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/safety/wildfire-status/prevention/fire-bans-and-restrictions/open-burning.
Please consider other measures before burning.
Interested in joining the fire department? Come talk to us or send us an email at denmanfire911@gmail.com. Our next intake is coming up and we’re looking for front line firefighters. You’ll be joining an incredible group of individuals who are committed to this community and its safety.
