Fire in rear of a semi-trailer extinguished by Williams Lake Fire Department

It was an early start to the morning (yesterday) for the Williams Lake Fire Department.

At approximately 5:25 Fire Chief Evan Dean says they responded to a reported vehicle fire at the rear of the Salvation Army Thrift store.

Dean says upon arrival the fire was confirmed to be in the rear of a semi-trailer adjacent to the loading dock threatening the nearby structure.

Crews responded quickly and were able to get a quick knockdown of the fire resulting in the damage being mostly contained to the trailer.

Dean says the fire appears to have been caused by a small fire which started under the trailer and RCMP have an active file if anyone has any information.

2 apparatus and 2 command vehicles responded and crews were on scene for under an hour.
