This should make a lot of campers happy — campfires are returning in time for the long weekend.
B.C. Wildfire Service announced the prohibition on campfires will be lifted throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre as of noon on Sept. 2. However local bylaws may overrule the fun in certain areas.
While conditions are safe enough to trust the public with campfires, people are still encouraged to exercise caution.
