Richmond RCMP off to help with B.C. wildfires

Eleven Richmond RCMP members have been
requested to assist with the current wildfire situation in B.C.
“The members will be deployed for a one-week
period to support evacuation efforts in 100 Mile House and surrounding areas,”
City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said.
Townsend said First responder levels in
Richmond will not be impacted, and all associated costs will be covered by the
Province.
“Richmond Fire Rescue has not deployed any
staff or equipment to date, but is in communication with their regional
counterparts and will continue to monitor and reassess,” Townsend said. “Emergency
Programs staff are canvassing the availability of Emergency Operations Centre,
Emergency Social Services and Emergency Social Services-trained volunteers to
respond,” he said.
