Effective immediately, campfires will once again be allowed within most fire jurisdictions across the Central Okanagan.
In light of more seasonal temperatures, the lifting of the campfire ban coincides with a similar action by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations within the Penticton and Vernon Fire Zones. Campfires will again be allowed within the District of West Kelowna, District of Lake Country, and the fire protection districts within the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas (Joe Rich, Ellison, Wilson’s Landing, North Westside).
Until further notice, campfires are not allowed and permits will not be approved in the District of Peachland. Campfires are not allowed at any time within the City of Kelowna.
Under Regional District and other local municipal bylaws, campfires must not create nuisance smoke and only untreated, seasoned firewood may be burned. As well, a campfire must be continuously controlled and supervised by a competent person that has materials or equipment to extinguish the campfire.
At this time, Open Burning is not allowed.

Campfire Ban in Central Okanagan Regional District
Starting tomorrow all campfires will be prohibited throughout all Central Okanagan municipalities.
The ban takes effect at noon Friday, August 17th, 2012 and coincides with the similar action announced by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations across the Kamloops Fire Centre area within BC Parks, Crown and private lands. The ban will remain in effect until further notice.
As a result of extremely dry conditions and an extended period of hot, dry weather, local fire chiefs have decided to implement the total ban on campfires within all local government jurisdictions of the Regional District of Central Okanagan, including the City of Kelowna, District of West Kelowna, District of Lake Country, District of Peachland and the Central Okanagan East and West Electoral Areas. Campfires are not permitted at any time within the City of Kelowna.
Open burning has not been allowed within any jurisdiction of the Regional District and member municipalities since April.
As well, local bylaws prohibit the use of any fireworks at any time throughout the Central Okanagan.
Violators could receive a fine and be charged the cost of the fire department response to a burning complaint. Residents are encouraged to report anyone who is illegally burning by calling the Kelowna Fire Department Regional Dispatch Centre at 250-469-8577.
