BC CO Service

☀️Summer means barbecues but #DYK a dirty grill can attract bears & other wildlife? Ensuring barbecues are clean is a step you can take to help prevent bear conflicts. Visit @wildsafebc for more resources and tips. tinyurl.com/4v8nbhfb #COS #KeepWildlifeWild #DoYourPart

An #IdabelLake property owner received a $5,000 administrative penalty after the @_BCCOS found them burning prohibited material. The demolition debris included asphalt products, carpet, drywall, furniture, appliances, plastic, tires & treated wood. shorturl.at/IptIq

Patrolling with a view! CO’s cover a lot of ground—and water—to protect the environment, fish & wildlife. Expect to see your local CO’s out & about this summer. They’re spotted here on Morice Lake in the Skeena region, on an angling & boating safety patrol. #COS #FromTheField

CO's are assisting with wildfire tactical evacuations near the #Kelowna airport. Stay safe everyone.
