Prescribed burn planned for Tsi Del Del Community Fields



REDSTONE – The BC Wildfire Service in collaboration with Tsi Del Del First Nation will be conducting a series of prescribed burns 188 kilometres west of Williams Lake within the community of Tsi Del Del. The total area to be burned is approximately 50 hectares in size, divided into four parcels located on the north and south side of Highway 20.

Burning may start as early as Wednesday, March 12, 2025, and continue periodically until April 4, 2025. Burning will be dependent on weather, site and venting conditions to allow for quick smoke dissipation. Smoke and flames will be visible in the area, with firefighters monitoring the fire activity at all times.

Projects like this are renewing past traditions and practices and is an opportunity for BC Wildfire Service staff to work with the community of Tsi Del Del.

  • Run portable air cleaners with windows and doors closed, both commercial and home-made units can be effective if operated properly
  • Reduce the length and intensity of outdoor activities
  • Manage pre-existing conditions and seek medical care if you have severe symptoms
