Wrong place, right time: Barriere helps Ashcroft fight grass fire

It’s not uncommon for fire departments to help each other out in an emergency, but the crew at Ashcroft Fire Rescue (AFR) got a big surprise when they found out who came to their assistance for a routine fire call on June 19.
At 9:14 p.m. on Friday, June 19, AFR received a call from Kamloops Fire Dispatch about a grass fire at the junction of Cornwall Road and Highway 1 near the Esso Travel Centre. AFR Chief Josh White says crews acted quickly to reach the hall, gear up, and roll out.
