British Columbia Forestry Bill Aims Fire Prevention and Regulation
The Forestry Bill passed by the BC legislature is hailed as comprehensive and practical with strong fire prevention provisions. It applies to railways and municipalities, designates a May to October close season, requires permits for fires, empowers the Provincial Forest Board to regulate permits and use of fire, and authorizes railway patrols and costs to be borne by railway companies. The act also covers camp and traveler fire rules and safety measures to extinguish fires promptly.
