The city of Vancouver has lifted its burn ban after rain soaked the region overnight.
Vancouver Fire Marshal Heidi Scarpelli today lifted the recreational burn ban issued on Aug. 12 within the city limits. Outdoor recreational fires are now allowed, effective immediately.
“With the recent rains, the conditions that created the extreme fire danger last month are no longer an issue,” Scarpelli said in a news release.
