Abbotsford – Abbotsford Police and Fire are trying to get the word out, once gain, that a wildfire can start anytime, anywhere. APD released a video of a roadside fire that started from a discarded cigarette butt.
Even though the irony is we have the freshet and flooding, that doesn’t mean a wildfire can’t pop up. Fire season in the BC Interior is well underway.
Discarded cigarette butts are a #FireRisk to motorists & emergency crews! Fines = $575 under the Wildlife Act. @AbbyPoliceDept will be issuing these fines for this careless action. Call 911 for fires; report this behavior to *5555 or 1-800-663-5555. #DontFlickIt #summersafety
