Campfires are still not allowed, but cooler temperatures and a lower fire danger rating in the northeastern part of the Cariboo Fire Centre have allowed officials to reopen Bowron Lake Provincial Park.

In consultation with the BC Wildfire Service, the park reopened Friday.

However, officials warn the level of wildfire activity can change quickly, so BC Parks and the BC Wildfire Service will continue to assess the situation for public safety, and the park may be closed again if warranted

BC Parks and the BC Wildfire Service are asking the public to remain vigilant and help prevent human-caused wildfires. To report a wildfire or open burning violation, call *5555 on a cellphone or 1-800-663-5555 toll-free.

A campfire ban remains in effect across British Columbia.
