OKANAGAN — After more than a month with campfire-free camping, you can now roast those marshmallows once again. Thanks to some cooler weather and a bit of rain the Wildfire Management Branch lifted the campfire ban in for the entire Kamloops fire centre.
Open burning, including any fires larger than half a meter high by half a meter wide, is still prohibited, and if you’re caught in violation you can face a fine upwards of $345.
