Cariboo Fire Centre urges restraint on Open Fires over next few days

Courtesy of the BC Wildfire Service/Cariboo Fire Centre:

Based on upcoming weather conditions, we are urging the public and industry to not conduct any open burning on Thursday, May 1 and Friday, May 2. 

High temperatures, low humidity and windy conditions - especially in the Cariboo and Kamloops Fire Centres - will contribute to elevated fire danger. 

Warm, dry, windy conditions will create an environment where fine fuels such as grasses and shrubs dry out and become highly flammable, making them easily ignited. 

Conditions may continue into Saturday, so please check your local weather forecast before lighting a fire of any size. 

Human activity is the leading cause of spring wildfires across B.C. Please do your part to help reduce the risk of wildfire.

Prescribed burn planned in 100 Mile House

Courtesy of the BC Wildfire Service/Cariboo Fire Centre:

The 100 Mile House Fire Department, with support from the BC Wildfire Service, plan to conduct a prescribed burn west of 100 Mile House to help reduce wildfire threats.   When and where The burn will cover approximately 19 hectares in the Exeter area. Preparation work that includes small scale fire ignitions to create control lines may start as early as April 8. The primary burn may begin as early as April 9 and continue periodically until April 30. Ignitions will only proceed if conditions are suitable and allow for smoke dispersal during burn operations, though smoke may also linger in the following days.   What to expect Smoke and flames will be visible from 100 Mile House, surrounding communities and motorists on Highway 97. Crews will ignite ground fuels to remove combustible materials. The perimeter of the burn will be extinguished at the end of each day. Smoke from within the perimeter may remain visible up to 48 hours after ignition. Firefighters will remain on-site to monitor conditions into the evening.   Objectives of the prescribed burn Reduce wildfire risk within the 100 Mile House municipal boundaries. Use fire to restore grassland and forest health to encourage a properly functioning ecosystem. Strengthen collaboration between BC Wildfire Service and local firefighters outside of emergency response situations.   Minimizing health impacts from smoke Exposure to smoke from wildfires or prescribed burning can irritate eyes and respiratory tracts and worsen pre-existing lung and heart conditions. If your area is impacted by smoke: Manage pre-existing conditions, and seek medical care if you have severe symptoms. Reduce the length and intensity of outdoor activities. Run portable air cleaners with windows and doors closed. Both commercial and home-made units (https://rb.gy/90uh5s) can be effective if operated properly.   Learn about protecting your health from smoke online: http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/prevention-public-health/wildfire-smoke   Learn more Fire is a natural process in many of B.C.’s ecosystems. The BC Wildfire Service works regularly with land managers to undertake fuel management activities, including the use of prescribed burns, to help reduce the severity of future wildfires and related threats to communities.   Learn more about prescribed burning online at prescribedfire.ca or find more resources here.   To report a wildfire, dial *5555 on a cell phone or call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free.

August 1st, 2024 update from Cariboo Fire Centre

Information courtesy of the Cariboo Fire Centre/BC Wildfire Service - August 1st, 2024:

General Overview:

Over the last week, widespread precipitation across the Fire Centre has aided crews in suppression efforts on active wildfires making significant progress. On Wednesday, July 31 the Groundhog Complex demobilized and turned over the complex wildfires, including the Antler Creek Wildfire of Note, to the Cariboo Fire Centre.

Although precipitation has been received, it is not enough to impact drought codes. Indices are expected to increase as we enter a drying trend with more seasonable temperatures. Forest fuels remain dry and vigilance when recreating in the backcountry this summer is essential.

The Cariboo Fire Centre continues to prioritize initial attack of newly detected fires and maintain preparedness. Resources are deployed to wildfires throughout the Centre and the Province, with appropriate resources remaining in the region for local preparedness and response.

To prevent human caused wildfires and protect public safety, campfires remain prohibited throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre. In addition to Category 1 campfires, The Cariboo Fire Centre and the Tsilhqot’in (Xeni Gwet’in) Declared Title Area have prohibited Category 2, and Category 3 open fires including the following activities:

Fireworks

Sky lanterns

Burn barrels or burn cages of any size or description

Binary exploding targets

Tiki and similar kinds of torches

Chimineas

Air curtain burners

The campfire prohibition does not include the use of outdoor stoves. As per the Wildfire Regulation, an outdoor stove is a CSA-rated or ULC-rated device used outdoors for cooking, heat or ambiance that burns charcoal briquettes, liquid fuel or gaseous fuel, and has a flame height that is less than 15 cm tall.

The risk of thundershowers increases on Sunday to the west of the Fraser river with some light northerly winds. On Monday a weak cold front from the north will push through the FC bringing temperatures down to the low 20s and higher RH values. More widespread thundershower and shower activity is expected with light- moderate northerly winds.

Near seasonal temperatures are expected into the new week with some scattered thundershower and shower activity. Light to moderate northerly winds are forecast for the rest of the week.

Cariboo Fire Centre Wildfire Update -- July 25th, 2024 at 5:45pm

Courtesy of BC Wildfire Service/Cariboo Fire Centre:

General Overview 

On Sunday, July 21, the Cariboo Fire Centre assisted the City of Williams Lake in actioning the River Valley Wildfire (C21338). BCWS firefighting personnel, the Williams Lake Fire Department, Williams Lake First Nation Firefighters and other emergency responders worked quickly and efficiently to action the wildfire. Due to these efforts, within 48 hrs of initial detection, the River Valley Wildfire was listed as Under Control.

On Sunday, July 21, the Cariboo Fire Centre experienced hot and dry conditions with temperatures reaching the 30s and winds gusting up to 45 km/h. This caused many of the wildfires in the Cariboo, most of which started due to a lightning storm on July 19, to produce large amounts of smoke and display increased fire behavior. A convective storm passing through the Fire Centre resulted in 2538 cloud to ground lightning strikes on July 22, most of which occurred in the 100 Mile House Zone.

The Cariboo Fire Centre continues to prioritize initial attack of newly detected fires and maintaining a level of readiness throughout the Fire Centre. Resources are deployed to wildfires throughout the Centre and the Province, with appropriate and specialized resources remaining in the region for local preparedness and response.

To prevent human caused wildfires and protect public safety, campfires are prohibited throughout British Columbia.

In addition to Category 1 campfires, The Cariboo Fire Centre and the Tsilhqot’in (Xeni Gwet’in) Declared Title Area have prohibited Category 2, and Category 3 open fires including the following activities:

Fireworks

Sky lanterns

Burn barrels or burn cages of any size or description

Binary exploding targets

The Category 2 and 3 open fire prohibition applies to all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws in place and is serviced by a fire department. Check with local government authorities for any other restrictions before lighting any fire.

 

A Category 2 fire is an open fire that burns material in one to two piles, each no larger than two metres in height and three metres in width, or burning grass over an area less than 0.2 hectares.

 

A Category 3 fire is defined as an open fire larger than two metres by three metres, burning three or more piles smaller than two by three metres, or burning an area of grass or stubble over an area greater than 0.2 hectares.
