The City of Terrace has issued a complete fire ban within city boundaries.
Officials say the decision to expand the ban comes after a long stretch of hot, dry weather which has left the fire danger rating at extreme.
The ban includes backyard food fires, any active burning permits issued by the City of Terrace, and campfires at Ferry Island, which were previously not included.
The only exception to the ban is the use of gas and briquette barbecues.
