The Vernon North Okanagan RCMP is reminding the public of the serious risks associated with unattended campfires after a fire broke out in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park last night. At approximately 6:30 p.m., Coldstream Fire Department and BC Wildfire Service responded to a brush fire in the park in the area of the red gate. The fire has been traced back to an illegal campsite and fortunately was contained before it could spread.
A rapid response by Coldstream and BC Wildfire Service prevented what could have been a much worse outcome given the dry conditions and proximity to residential areas, states Constable Chris Terleski, Media Relations Officer for the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. With dry conditions and the risk of wildfire increasing, it’s critical that everyone respects rules and fire safety regulations. If you are having a legal campfire, it needs to be extinguished and cold to the touch before being left unattended."
