West Vancouver fire rating moved to ‘extreme’

The municipality of West Vancouver is raising its wildfire risk rating to extreme.

The move has triggered a number of new fire bans.

Both charcoal and propane barbeques — along with smoking — are now prohibited at all West Vancouver parks.

There is also a complete ban on fireworks.

City officials say the extreme danger rating means the risk of fire is very serious.
