The BC Wildfire Service and the Cariboo-Chilcotin Natural
Resource District will be conducting pile burning south of Highway 20, off of
Chimney Valley Road and Dog Creek Road.
The objective of this project is to reduce wildfire hazard by
burning combustible materials from a previously completed fuel treatment.
Burning is expected to begin March 8, 2024 and continue
periodically until March 31, 2024. Ignitions and burning will only proceed if
weather and site conditions are suitable and allow for smoke dissipation.
BC Wildfire Service personnel will carefully prepare, control
and monitor these fires at all times. Smoke and/or flames may be visible from
Williams Lake and to motorists traveling along Highway 20, Dog Creek Road and
Chimney Valley Road.
To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning
violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cell phone.
