CHARLIE LAKE, B.C – The Charlie Lake Fire Department hosted a wildland firefighting education session last month, inviting the Hudson’s Hope and Moberly Lake departments to train together.
The training focused on the use of a Wildland Structural Protection Unit, a mobile sprinkler system used to douse flames. Hudson’s Hope Fire Chief Brad Milton said the practical and strategic training will go a long way in troubleshooting and fixing problems when working in the field.
“You could be out a ways from your main base of operations, trying to protect an area threatened by wildfires,” said Milton. “With limited time and limited resources, you want to be able to know what you’re doing to troubleshoot those issues, to provide the best service possible to your community.”
