LILLOOET -The BC Wildfire Service will be conducting a pile burning project located along the shoreline of Marshall Lake, approximately 19 kilometres northeast of the community of Gold Bridge.
Starting as soon as November 26, 2024, BC Wildfire Service crews will be working to burn any remaining piles from an earlier project that was started in October 2024. Work may continue to the end of this week, November 29, 2024. Piles will be extinguished prior to crews leaving site for the day. This pile burning project is taking place in an effort to clean up and help mitigate wildfire hazards by reducing accumulations of fuels (e.g., dead wood or brush) above the shoreline properties along Marshall Lake.
Smoke from piles may be visible to 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.
