Effective tomorrow, Friday August 28, at noon PDT the Off Road Vehicle (ORV) prohibition is rescinded in the Southeast, Cariboo, Coastal and Kamloops Fire Centres.

We recognize that ORVs play an important role in recreation, hunting and accessing the outdoors for many. Restrictions are only considered when multiple factors indicate an elevated wildfire risk, heightened wildfire activity and limited capacity to respond to new fire starts.

With improving conditions in some regions of B.C., and cooler wetter weather in the forecast we are now able to rescind these prohibitions. We continue to monitor wildfire risk and prohibitions may be implemented or rescinded as conditions change.

We appreciate the patience and cooperation shown by ORV users during this period. We know many riders take fire prevention seriously and recreate responsibly on established roads and trails. If you're returning to the backcountry, we ask for your support in reporting any new wildfires through our app or by calling *5555.

Given the scope and scale of wildfires currently burning in B.C., and to further protect public safety, recreational off-road vehicle use will be prohibited on Crown land in the Kamloops and Southeast Fire Centres, as well as parts of the Cariboo and Coastal Fire Centres. This prohibition is effective immediately, as of 12 p.m. (noon) on August 10, 2026.

🚨 ATVBC Advisory to All Members 🚨

British Columbia is experiencing extreme drought, dangerous wildfire conditions, and widespread smoke across many regions.

For the safety of our members, our communities, and our forests, ATVBC is recommending that members postpone any recreational riding until conditions improve.

This recommendation is about more than protecting our trails.

🔥 Help reduce wildfire risk.
👨‍🚒 Support firefighters and emergency responders.
❤️ Protect yourself from smoke, extreme heat, and rapidly changing conditions.
🌲 Help preserve the forests and riding areas we all enjoy.

Every responsible decision makes a difference.

Before your next ride, please check local wildfire conditions, obey all closures and fire restrictions, and report any signs of wildfire immediately.

The trails will still be there when it's safe to ride.

Together, we can help protect British Columbia.
