Per the Coastal Fire Centre criteria, a campfire is defined as:

• Any fire no larger than 0.5 metres high by 0.5 metres wide (a fire larger than this is considered a Category 2 fire).
  
  
• Used by any person for recreational purposes or by a First Nation for a ceremonial purpose.
  
  
• Campfires should be less than one-half metre high
  
  
• Responsible campfire use follows the British Columbia Campfire Regulations.
  
  

Avoid having a campfire when it's windy, choose a proper fire pit or make a ring of rocks at least three metres from trees, shrubs, structures and debris, and do not leave a campfire unattended for ANY amount of time.
