Cache Creek fire hall drying out after waterway spills its banks Tuesday
CACHE CREEK, B.C. — The Cache Creek Volunteer Fire Department dodged a bullet from Mother Nature Thursday morning (July 2).
The Canada Day torrent of rain led to a rapid rise in Cache Creek overnight, and at 2:30 a.m., Fire Chief Tom Moe got the call that the creek had spilled its banks and was lapping at the doors of the fire hall.
“I drove down there and, sure enough, it was just about ready to go into the doors, so I started picking stuff up inside off the floor and sealing the doors as best I could,” Moe told CFJC Today. “We thought the river was going to go down but it kept coming up so I paged out the crew and got them down there to help me out.”
