⚡️🔋 CHARGE SAFELY 🔋⚡️

Charge large lithium-ion batteries—like those in e-bikes, scooters, and power tools—outside when possible.

🚪 Never block exits while charging.

These batteries store a lot of energy, and fires can grow quickly if a battery fails.

Effective Thursday, September 3 at noon, the District of Squamish will lift the Residential Campfire (Category 1) ban within District boundaries.

All existing residential campfire permits will be reinstated as of noon today.

🔥 Important reminders:
• Campfires within the District of Squamish are permitted only on private property with a valid residential campfire permit.
• Campfires are never permitted on public lands within District boundaries, including parks, beaches, riversides, lakes, forested areas and trails, unless located within a designated campground facility.
• Residential campfire permits are free and can be obtained online at squamish.ca/fire-permit.

After 25 years of dedicated service to Squamish Fire Rescue, Captain Sean O’Sullivan is officially retiring.

Sean began his journey in 2001 as a volunteer firefighter and went on to serve Company 41 as a Firefighter, Lieutenant, and ultimately, Captain.

Over the years, he answered countless calls, responded when his community needed him most, showed up for department events, and most importantly, helped save countless lives. His commitment to his crew, his department, and the people of Squamish has left a lasting impact.

Sean, thank you for 25 years of dedication, courage, leadership, and service. Your contribution to Squamish Fire Rescue and our community will not be forgotten.

From all of us at Squamish Fire Rescue — thank you, Captain O’Sullivan, and congratulations on your retirement!

Enjoy your next chapter - you’ve certainly earned it!

A small wildfire (V31805) began overnight which was visible and reported from some areas of Valleycliffe and Crumpit Woods. A BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) crew is actioning the fire. The fire is reported as being 0.009 hectare in size and currently classified as being held.

Squamish Fire Rescue is maintaining contact with BCWS, though isn't currently involved due to the accessibility of the terrain.

Yesterday's fires north of Squamish west of Highway 99 near the salt sheds are both reported as being under control. A third fire further south of these first two is reported as being held.
