This was not an isolated incident, according to the city.
"In the last few days, we had two infractions for non-compliance with the curfew, we also had six adults and nine children in the same chalet," Page said.
"We also had four other people who gathered on the same site."
In a Facebook post, an individual who claims to have received a fine shared their own account of the incident.
"$10,000 in fines for 3 families making a campfire on a beautiful Sunday afternoon! 👍" Francis Lambert wrote.
"There are no words to describe the ridiculousness we are living in right now."
Lambert suggested the group plans to contest the fines in court.
"We are not killers we just want to live a half normal life."
