Apr 16, 2019 | 5:59 PM

A fire advisory is now in place for the Peace River Forest Area.

The Wildfire Information Office says while there is still a lot of snow in the back country, a lot of areas have exposed, dry grass.

Campfires, charcoal briquettes, propane stoves and barbecues, infra-red heaters, and portable fire pits are still allowed.

The wildfire hazard is rated moderate in that area.

Fire watchers are asking off-highway vehicle users to make sure hot spots on their machines are free of debris.

Campfires should be soaked, stirred and soaked again until ashes are cool enough to touch.
