KAMLOOPS — Emergency officials in Kamloops are doing the most they can to ensure the nightmare unfolding in Fort McMurray does not repeat itself here.

Deputy Chief Mike Adams says Kamloops Fire Rescue has been working with emergency response organizations such as the BC Wildfire Service and RCMP to update our wildfire protocols.

Adams adds KFR has also worked with the city’s parks department to ensure hazardous trees are removed, but he says private property owners can help out, too.
