The Williams Lake Fire Department attended a small fire at Tolko’s Soda Creek mill earlier this afternoon, April 17.
“They were doing some welding and a spark got away and caught fire,” said Deputy Fire Chief Rob Warnock.
“By the time we got there, their guys had done a great job. They had pulled the wall apart and we were able to get to it with the assistance of their crews.”
The fire department was called to the scene just after 1 p.m. said Warnock, and two apparatus and about 13 fire department members attended.
It took about 45 minutes to get the fire under control, he said, adding that Tolko crews were an asset.
“Their guys did a great job. They assisted us and it was great to have their help.”
