Wildfire Season: Protect Your Water System 💧

BC Wildfire has announced new fire restrictions across the Southeast Fire Centre. During wildfire season, private well owners should also take steps to help protect their water systems and stay prepared.

A few simple precautions can help protect your water supply:
💧 Keep your wellhead area accessible and free of debris
💧 Make sure your well cap is properly secured and in good condition
💧 Keep electrical components, exposed wires, and water lines protected from damage
💧 Consider backup options such as a generator, solar power, or battery backup to support your water system during power outages
💧 Know where your pump power shut-off is located
💧 After wildfire impacts, inspect your system and test your water before returning to normal use

Stay informed, stay safe, and protect your love ones this wildfire season.

Effective at 12 .p.m. (noon) Pacific Time on Thursday, July 23, 2026, Category 1 campfire will be prohibited throughout the Southeast Fire Centre.

A Category 1 campfire refers to any fire that burns:
- No larger than 0.5 metres in height and 0.5 metres in width
- Used for recreational purposes or by a First Nation for ceremonial purposes

Also prohibited are the following equipment and activities:
- Air curtain burners
- Carbonizers
- Fireworks, as defined in the Fireworks Act of BC
- Binary exploding targets
- Burn barrels or burn cages of any size or description
- Controlled air incinerators
- Sky lanterns
