The Quesnel Fire Department continues to be on the scene of a log yard fire just off of Pinecrest Road on Two Mile Flat.
Fire Chief Ron Richert is asking the public to stay away from the scene so Emergency Services can do their job.
‘We have a lot of heavy equipment, a lot of Fire Departments in and out of here so we just want people to keep out for public safety.”
Richert said all five outlying CRD Fire Departments, as well as West Fraser representatives, West Fraser Heavy Equipment, and BC Wildfire Service assisting them with this fire.
“We do have the log pile contained,” Richert said, “the challenge is the weather temperatures and possible spot fires around the area. We have multiple crews that are doing patrols at this point where we do have it contained at this point.”
More come as more information becomes available.
