KAMLOOPS – The BC Wildfire Service will be conducting a fuel management project located at the East Barriere weather station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BC Wildfire Service crews will be working to burn up to 15 piles of woody debris. This could start as early as Oct. 7. This is routine maintenance of critical infrastructure with the purpose to maintain the weather station and surrounding area so the weather station can collect accurate weather readings that inform fire danger ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smoke from piles may be visible to residents from East Barriere Lake and surrounding areas. Pile burning will only proceed if conditions are favourable. BC Wildfire Service personnel will carefully prepare, control and monitor these piles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
