Fire Hazard Order Update

3:00 pm

The Fire Chief has revised his Fire Hazard Order for Watershed Park and the Delta Nature Reserve. Effective immediately, Watershed Park and the Delta Nature Reserve are open to the public with access limited to established trails only.

Burns Bog continues to be permanently closed to the public.

An open burning ban continues to be in effect for all areas of Delta including a ban on open cooking (briquette & propane BBQs) in all Delta Parks until further notice.

Delta staff will continue to patrol parks, beaches and Burns Bog access points to ensure there are no unauthorized activities taking place.

The public is urged to continue to exercise caution to reduce the risk of accidental fires. Please report any fires directly to 911 and any unauthorized activity that poses a risk of fire to the Delta Police Department's 24/7 non-emergency line at 604-946-4411.

Thank you for your patience and efforts to reduce the risk of fires in our community.
