Even amid a provincial state of emergency that has seen tens of thousands forced to flee their homes due to wildfires, people in B.C. are defying a ban on campfires.

The BC Conservation Officer Service said Monday, in a social media post, that seven tickets were handed out over the weekend totalling a combined $8,050.

    Hmm maybe the point could be better made if these people were told they had to assist in fighting a wildfire

      Problem is without proper training they’re just as likely to die instead of help.

        You say this like it’s a bug instead of a feature.
