8/18/2021 7:20 PM |
VERNON -- The BC Wildfire Service has expanded the Area Restriction Order in the vicinity of the White Rock Lake wildfire (K61884). The updated restriction perimeter reflects the need to protect personnel in areas where there is ongoing fire suppression activities.
This Area Restriction Order change takes effect August 18, 2021 at 1700 PDT and will remain in place until noon on October 15, 2021 or until it is rescinded.
A person who contravenes section 11 (2) is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $5 000, or to imprisonment for not more than 6 months, or to both. The B.C. Government does not tolerate irresponsible behaviour that puts human life in danger. Conservation Officers, Natural Resource Officers, and RCMP staff are actively patrolling the Area Restriction Order area and are authorized to issue violation tickets for infractions to section 11(2). The Area Restriction Order is in place to keep our first responders, and all British Columbians safe. Please respect BC Wildfire Service's worksite and do your part to ensure the safety of our staff.
