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.

Blaming Alberta for BC's problems is such a boring argument. Locals trash nature all the same. Come check out the island.
