Even amid a provincial state of emergency that has seen tens of thousands forced to flee their homes due to wildfires, people in B.C. are defying a ban on campfires.

The BC Conservation Officer Service said Monday, in a social media post, that seven tickets were handed out over the weekend totalling a combined $8,050.

Hmm maybe the point could be better made if these people were told they had to assist in fighting a wildfire

Problem is without proper training they're just as likely to die instead of help.

...and get others killed because of how brain dead they are.

Ah. OK, right. It is a bug.

You say this like it's a bug instead of a feature.
