Remember to keep your butts inside the car on your commute home as, in #BritishColumbia, throwing a lit cigarette out of a vehicle window carries a $575 fine under the provincial Wildfire Act for dropping or mishandling a burning substance. If you see a roadside brush wildfire, report it to: 1-800-663-5555 OR *5555 [toll free on most cellular networks], or 9-1-1.
