Fraser Valley – The fire danger rating (i.e. the risk of a wildfire starting) for the province is updated daily at approximately 2PM.
As of July 23, it is now listed as Extreme.
FVRD has closed Sumas Mountain Regional Park and the East Sector Land Trails in Harrison due to the tinder dry conditions.
More safety closures are expected as temperatures remain in the high 20’s, with a breeze and no precipitation any time soon.
The Forest Fire Danger Rating is now at EXTREME. We request that you stay out of the woods until the Rating is reduced to MODERATE. It is particularly critical that off road vehicles (quads, side by sides, dirt bikes), stay out of the woods and off logging roads at this time. pic.twitter.com/PtDQ1Avpch
