The BC Wildfire Service is planning to burn about 100 piles of wood debris near the Copper Ridge subdivision, north of Grand Forks. These controlled burns could start as early as Tuesday, September 18 and continue until the end of October, weather permitting.
Groups of these piles will be lit in sequence as weather and site conditions allow. Smoke and flames may be visible from Grand Forks and surrounding communities.
BC Wildfire Service personnel will be on site with firefighting equipment to monitor and control these burns at all times.
