During the summer’s wildfires as many as 80 people were eating and sleeping at one time in the Central Cariboo Search and Rescue (CCSAR) hall in Williams Lake.
A function of the Cariboo Regional District, CCSAR was tasked with assisting with evacuations.
The unit was also asked to have its auto extrication team on standby at all times.
“We had SAR members from 100 Mile House, Quesnel, Prince George, Nechako and Bulkley Valley here,” Chief Rick White said during an interview with members last week.
