PRINCE GEORGE – Effective at 12 p.m. (noon) PDT on Wednesday, October 01, 2025, the Category 1 campfire prohibition is rescinded for the Fort St. John Fire Zone, Dawson Creek Fire Zone, and Fort Nelson Fire Zone (Peace Forest District and Fort Nelson Forest District).
Category 1 campfires will be permitted across the Prince George Fire Centre.
Pouce Coupe is an attractive bedroom community to the larger urban centre of Dawson Creek for its affordability but also its rustic setting and strong community values. Local services help build that sense of community, but it’s also seen at events such as annual Canada Day festivities and a Santa Claus parade during the holiday season.
