A fire ban will be in effect as of May 18, 2023. The fire ban affects the City of Enderby and the Shuswap River Fire Protection District.

The fire ban is consistent with the Kamloops Fire Centre Direction, which prohibits:

  • Category 3 open fires;
  • Fireworks;
  • Sky Lanterns;
  • Binary Exploding Targets;
  • Burn Barrels or Burn Cages of any size or description; and,
