KAMLOOPS– Just after 2:00 p.m. on Monday (Aug. 19), Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) crews were called to the Mount Paul Industrial Park for what was reported as a landscape fire.
“Upon arrival, crews saw heavy, thick, black smoke [and] called for extra resources to support the suppression activities,” said KFR Deputy Chief Ryan Cail, adding that with in a half-hour, crews had the fire knocked down.
“But there was definitely a lot of fuel and industrial type products that were involved in the fire, so a bit of a defensive approach at first into an offensive knockdown.”
