KAMLOOPS \u2013 The BC Wildfire Service will be rescinding an Area Restriction Order within the vicinity of the Bald Range wildfire (K51490). This Area Restriction Order rescind is effective September 4, 2026, at 12 p.m. (noon) PT. As the fire behaviour and activity has decreased, firefighting personnel no longer need to restrict public access to operate efficiently and safely in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BC Wildfire Service reminds members of the public that the Bald Range wildfire is still an active job site and caution should be exercised at all times while travelling in the area. Even if an area restriction has been rescinded, officials still have the authority under the Wildfire Act and its regulations to order anyone to leave the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before entering any area affected by a wildfire, members of the public should be aware that significant safety hazards may be present. Trees that have been damaged by fire might be unstable and could fall. Ash pits can be hard to detect and can remain hot long after the flames have died down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Communities may see smoke within the fire’s perimeter over the coming weeks. Smoke
appearing from within the fire perimeter and burned material is common; however, smoke that rises from green, unburned fuel or from outside a fire’s perimeter should be reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone, or report it through the BC Wildfire Service mobile app, where you can include a photo. For the latest information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air-quality advisories, visit: http:\/\/www.bcwildfire.ca<\/a> or download the BC Wildfire App free for Apple and Android devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Road closures and area restrictions are subject to change depending on fire activity.
