Backyard burning now prohibited in #Sooke and throughout BC in accordance with Provincial order https://t.co/yMaJeMSOql
Small cooking fires are still permitted at this time.

As I was talking with my 15yr old about the Mass shooting in Dayton (which is sickening that we have to have these talks ALL THE TIME 💔) he says “Mom, you have to watch this.” Take 2 minutes and watch. So powerful. It’s not the answer but it’s a start.

Do you sleep with your bedroom doors open or closed? Fires are burning hotter and faster today than ever before. Simply closing your door at night can save your life. Please share this video from @UL_FSRI. #CloseBeforeYouDoze

The first step to become FireSmart is educate yourself, your family and your community on what it means to have a FireSmart BC.

Did you know that your roof is the most vulnerable component of your home? Sparks and burning embers from a wildfire can travel long distances and quickly ignite flammable roofing material. Keep your roof clean this summer. #FireSmartBC

[Oak Bay Police @OakBayPolice]

Not sure everyone will get this...but most cops will. Been at fatal collisions & yelled at about the road closure. Been on the side of a bridge, talking to suicidal man & had a driver yell "jump" to him. Policing can ruin your belief in humanity. Kudos to the cop in this vid.👍

[PreparedBC @PreparedBC]

Over 1,600 wildfires occur in #BC every year, on average.

If a wildfire threatens your home, you may receive an evacuation alert or order. It's important to understand the difference.

[Gord Ditchburn @PresBCPFFA]

C’mon people do we have to educate you all over again, throwing cigarette butts out the window, because the world is your ashtray, ENOUGH !!!! Common sense says you extinguish in your ashtray and if your car doesn’t have one then maybe that’s a hint, no smoking and driving!!

[City of Surrey @CityofSurrey]

A reminder from Surrey Fire Service: DO NOT toss your cigarettes out the window. Conditions are already very dry. Quint 18 responded to 5 brush fire calls in 1.5 hours on Friday.

[BC Wildfire Service @BCGovFireInfo]

The Fire Danger Rating is currently moderate-high across most of the province, meaning forest fuels are drying and there is an increased risk of fires starting. Anyone heading into the outdoors this weekend is advised to be cautious and do their part to help avoid #BCWildfire.

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

Officers and first responders put their lives at risk every time they set foot on the side of the road. Make it safer for them—Move over. It’s the law. #MoveOver
