Squamish Fire Rescue is asking the public to stay clear of trails near Squamish Valley Road and the Cheekeye Dream’N trail in Brackendale as its crews are on scene at a brush fire.

“There is no risk to the public at this time,” the department said in a post to its Facebook page.

As of Thursday at noon, there will be a BC Wildfire Service campfire ban in place in the region, due to the current dry, hot conditions.

Currently, there is a District of Squamish campfire ban in place.

The Dryden Creek wildfire, which started on June 9, has yet to be called out, as the BC Wildfire Service continues to monitor it for potential reignition.
