A group of forest firefighters are in hot water on social media after they were captured enjoying a campfire on Adams Lake Tuesday evening.
A Facebook post showing the firefighters beside their campfire during a province-wide campfire ban has been shared more than 600 times since last night.
Rusty Clark took the initial photos and posted them to Facebook, asking residents to help him report the wildfire crew.
