Campfire Ban Lifted

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 08:04 AM

Prince George - Effective immediately, campfires will be permitted within the Prince George Fire Centre's jurisdiction due to a decreased risk of wildfires. City of Prince George Fire Chief Jeff Rowland says the recreational fire ban within City limits will also be lifted.

As for campfires, they must be no larger than 0.5 metres wide or 0.5 metres tall, and if you light, it, you will have to be sure you have the proper tools on hand to deal with it:

such as a shovel, orat least eight litres of water, nearby to fully extinguish it.

Although small, contained campfires are now permitted, open fires of any other description remain prohibited. This prohibition includes fireworks and burning barrels. Details are available at http://bcwildfire.ca/hprScripts/WildfireNews/Bans.asp.

cotton ball with Vaseline mashed into it, then tuft up the fibers.

The cotton works as a wick and will take a spark such as from a dead lighter, or flint and steel, or even any old rock that produces sparks when struck on steel.

A little shredded birch bark under some pine kindling.

voila, fire in any but the most extreme conditions.

or white boy fire starter also known as diesel.
