KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Fire Rescue crews rushed to douse a fire that sparked on the Tk’emlups Reserve this morning.

The grass fire was called in at about 11:50 a.m., in the 600-block of East Shuswap Road on the bank of the South Thompson River.

Platoon Captain David Ferguson says it appears to have been sparked by a mower working in the roadside brush.
