This closure only effects Category 2A, 2B and Category 3 open burning within the District of Lillooet and does not include campfires.
As a reminder we ask that if you choose to have a campfire that you understand the regulations. 

• A campfire is defined as being no larger than 0.5m high and 0.5m in diameter. 
• You must have a minimum of 8 litres of water or a hand tool on hand at all times while your campfire is lit. 
• Ensure that you have a fuel break around your campfire.  This area must be cleared of debris and anything combustible.  It needs to be wide enough to stop the spread of the fire.  A rock ring around the fire can also help prevent it from spreading.
• You MUST NOT leave your fire unattended for ANY length of time.

Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be subject to fines and penalties.
