Even amid a provincial state of emergency that has seen tens of thousands forced to flee their homes due to wildfires, people in B.C. are defying a ban on campfires.

The BC Conservation Officer Service said Monday, in a social media post, that seven tickets were handed out over the weekend totalling a combined $8,050.

It is a yearly event in the East Kootenays that some Albertans are charged for having campfires during a campfire ban. It is as normal as daylight. We also have to do yearly bush cleanups for all the trash and abandoned campers and trailers.
