Three volunteer fire departments receive generous donation from Lions Clubs
KAMLOOPS — This summer’s historic wildfire season in B.C. was devastating.
More than 1.2 million hectares burned across the province. Within the TNRD, 215 structures were destroyed, including the Loon Lake Volunteer Fire Hall. The wreckage is gone, but the rebuild has yet to begin.
“We have the site cleared and ready for building. We’re still waiting on the insurance company to come back to us,” said deputy volunteer fire chief Ted Crawford. “Right now, we’ve arranged for two of the trucks to be put in separate storage for the winter because we won’t be finished building before spring.”
