LYTTON – The BC Wildfire Service will be conducting a pile burning project located at the Skihist Provincial Park near the Village of Lytton.
BC Wildfire Service crews will be working to burn approximately 20 piles starting as early as Thursday, October 24 through to the end of November. This project is taking place in conjunction with danger tree falling and bucking in order to remove hazards to trail users and to reduce the accumulations of fuels (e.g., dead wood or brush) around the Old Wagon trail within the park.
Smoke from piles may be visible to residents from the Village of Lytton, Lytton First Nation, Gladwin and Nicomen Indian Band and surrounding communities. Pile burning will only proceed if conditions are favourable. BC Wildfire Service personnel will carefully prepare, control and monitor these piles at all times.
To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning violation, please call 1-800-663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cell phone.
