Central Okanagan property owners are reminded that no open burning permits are being issued in local fire service areas due to the continued high fire danger rating.
This coincides with continued burning prohibitions in the Kamloops Fire Centre jurisdiction until at least October 28.
Central Okanagan fire chiefs continue actively monitoring conditions and will determine a start date for burning permits within their areas.
Normally when the fire hazard allows, open burning permits run from October 1 through April 30 for eligible property owners in the Central Okanagan. Burning is only allowed on days when both the air quality and venting indices are good.
