Power Outage
BC Hydro is planning to install a new surge protector and bird guarding, and will also be performing maintenance work at the Barriere substation onSunday, September 20th from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. In order to perform this work safely, there will be a planned outage during this time. 2,418 customers will be affected by this outage.
Fire Ban
Effective at noon on Friday, July 3, 2015, all open fires —including campfires–will be prohibited throughout the entire Kamloops Fire Centre. This prohibition will remain in place until the public is otherwise notified.
This step is being taken to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.
This Includes the Barriere Fire District if we find you burning in contravention of Bylaw 55 you are subject to a fine of $300!
We ask that you please be patient and wait until the ban has been lifted to resume campfire burns!

Feb 19th Fire Practice
Feb 19th at 730pm we were at the community park doing a exercise on radio communication which had our members finding points that were marked and having to radio in for the next clue. The points went through the ball parks into the elementary school yard and then back out again. We felt it was a good area to practice in due to the rash of slash pile burns that haven’t been authorized to show we are out watching our community!
