One of those new fires from the weekend sparked with Kamloops city limits. Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) personnel, along with members of the BCWS and CN Rail employees joined forces to contain a fire in Cooney Bay on Saturday (April 20).
“The winds picked up, the temperature picked up and that was enough to get some embers going and start to spread,” said KFR Chief Ken Uzeloc. “We had crews there all through the night Saturday night, we had crews all through the day [Sunday] along with BC Wildfire, as well. [Monday] we had crews go out and take a look and we have a crew there right now actioning for the afternoon.”
