KAMLOOPS — An RV dealership chain has donated $275,000 to help rebuild the fire hall in the community of Loon Lake.

The fire hall was destroyed in the 2017 Elephant Hill wildfire.

In a news release, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District says the major donation came from Fraserway RV.

The chain ran a five-week fundraising campaign to help wildfire-affected communities with a $500,000 goal.

It ended up raising a total of $670,000, and will distribute the funds to a variety of different non-profits and municipalities, including a $20,000 donation to the Village of Cache Creek to help replace a fire truck.
