The District of Central Saanich is delaying its annual Halloween fireworks and bonfire celebration because of a lengthy drought that's been affecting Vancouver Island.
"At this time, even with rain in the forecast before now and Halloween, the fire risk is expected to remain too high for open flames," said Central Saanich Fire Chief Kenn Mount in a statement Tuesday. "While this is hugely disappointing for the community, the Fire Department intends to reschedule the fireworks and bonfire celebration soon," said Mount.
The district notes that all fireworks and opening burning, including campfires, is currently banned due to the ongoing drought.
