A video distributed on social media sites shows a couple embracing while standing in the midst of a heart-shaped line of flames in the sand at dusk.
A bungled romantic gesture which saw a man light a heart-shaped line of fire on what is believed to be Chesterman Beach has outraged Tofino residents, who are wary of danger during peak fire season.
Another woman posting on a Tofino social media site said she came across the scene on Chesterman Beach. Anyone driving in and out of the west side of the island either took a detour along a rugged gravel road or relied on aircraft. Local tourism and other businesses were hard hit as visitors avoided the area.Tofino resident Hannah Tarrant took to social media to call out the couple for their behaviour. “This is not cute,” she said. “This happened in Tofino, B.C., during an all-summer fire ban and level three water restriction.” Stage three water restrictions ban outdoor use of water.
Tarrant said she came across the video this past weekend. The couple seem to be tourists. She figures they set up a tripod for the video.
