A Halloween tradition won’t be going ahead this year in Central Saanich as an unusually long stretch of warm, dry weather poses a massive wildfire risk, officials say.
A district spokesperson said if the region sees significant rainfall and the fire danger rating is lowered, it could mean fireworks will be reinstated before Halloween — but that is unlikely given current forecasts.It’s not just fireworks that will be put on pause. Central Saanich is also postponing its annual Halloween-night celebration and bonfire in Centennial Park.
“While this is hugely disappointing for the community, the Fire Department intends to reschedule the fireworks and bonfire celebration soon,” Central Saanich Fire Chief Kenn Mount said in a statement. The BC Wildfire Service is dealing with a highly unusual problem this October with 52 active wildfires burning in the Coastal Fire Centre as of Oct. 18.
