BC Wildfire Service says critical equipment used to fight some of the province's devastating blazes has been moved and sometimes stolen, in one case three times.
The fire service says the pumps, sprinklers, hoses and ATVs that have been taken in the North Shuswap area are"critically impacting" the effectiveness of structural protection.
The wildfire service issued a social media post saying gear that would protect dozens of homes is being moved to areas where the equipment is ineffective. He says if that bridge were to burn, communities would have to either rely on boats or make a lengthy trip east if they needed to flee to safety. "You are not helping if you're moving firefighter equipment. Firefighters are experts, the equipment is put there for a reason," he said.
