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.
That, and confiscate all equipment and goods used in perpetration of the crime. They can ebay it later on a guilty verdict or give it to someone who needs camping gear and dodge rams. Sorry about your $90k truck, Chad.

I know DFO has wide ranging seizure powers.
SK, too.
