It has finally been declared out.
The Coastal Fire Centre told The Chief that the wildfire in the Upper Squamish Valley, which began April 1, was declared officially out on Friday, May 24.
"The only active fire we currently have in (the coastal fire region) is on the island and in patrol," Marg Drysdale, communications assistant for the Coastal Fire Centre said.
The wildfire that was sparked at the 17.5-mile area of Squamish Valley Road, was reportedly caused when a homeowner's slash fire got out of control.
The fire had reached 68 hectares a day after it was sparked.
On April 2, the fire came within 100 feet of a home.
Squamish's wildfire hazard rating, according to the BC Wildfire Service is currently a 3, or moderate danger, as of May 28.
As of noon on Thursday, May 30, Category 2 open burns are banned throughout the Coastal Fire Centre's jurisdiction to reduce wildfire risks and protect public safety, the BC Wildfire Service announced Tuesday.
Open burning is already banned within the District of Squamish.
The coastal ban means that an open fire to burn any material smaller than two metres high and three metres wide is prohibited outside of the District as well.
The use of fireworks, firecrackers, sky lanterns, burning barrels and rifle target practice is also not allowed.
The prohibition does not apply to cook stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes.
Anyone caught in violation of the ban can receive a ticket of $1,150 and be charged a penalty of up to $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail.
If the incident leads to a wildfire, the person responsible may be required to pay all firefighting and associated costs.
