Slash burning planned in the Lardeau

The BC Wildfire Service is planning to burn slash piles in the Lardeau Valley starting today. They say the goal is to reduce the amount of flammable material and reduce the risk of aggressive wildfires in this area in the future.

The prescribed burning will only proceed if weather conditions are ideal for quick smoke dissipation. Wind speed, direction, venting and burning conditions will all be considered prior to ignition to minimize the amount of smoke generated.
