Stay on the main trails.
That’s the message from Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) Platoon Captain Wade Lindoff after a woman got into a “precarious position” on Mara Mountain near Cinnamon Ridge Saturday (May 15) afternoon.
KFR, along with Kamloops Search and Rescue and the RCMP set up a rope system to get her out.
“[Hiking is] a safe thing to be doing outdoors… we encourage that but just do it in a safe way,” Lindoff said. “It’s always better to go with another person. If you’re alone and leave the trails, there’s a pretty good chance you could find yourself in a position you might not want to get yourself into.”
