There’s good news for Enderby and Armstrong residents.
Enderby lifted its campfire ban Wednesday while Armstrong rescinded the fire ban for cooking purposes.
“Following recent precipitation and cooler temperatures, the hazard has been reduced such that we can lift the campfire ban,” said Cliff Vetter, fire chief.
“Despite this, the area is still dry and the public is asked to be extremely cautious if they choose to have a campfire. All campfires should be conducted in accordance with relevant bylaws and regulations.”
In Armstrong, fire chief Ian Cummings recommended the fire ban for cooking purposes be lifted.
“We remind community members that campfires are not permitted within the City of Armstrong,” said Warren Smith, manager of community services.
“The open burning ban will continue until further notice. We appreciate the patience and efforts of our community members in keeping our community safe during the extended ban.”
