Effective July 23, 2009 at 12:00 p.m. all open fires, including those for cooking, warmth, and ceremonial purposes, are prohibited. The continuation of the hot, dry weather has raised the fire hazard to “Extreme” prompting local fire authorities to place a complete open fire ban throughout the District of Squamish.
