Concentrate on the road.
Kamloops Fire Rescue crews work hard to protect residents from wildfires within the City. Often wildland fires occur along side major highways.
Please consider a few things.

Kamloops Fire Rescue Station No.3 was built in 1979. It is one of 7 fire stations in Kamloops. Kamloops annexed several neighbouring communities, bringing a number of area volunteer fire departments into the Kamloops Fire Department. Station 3 was formally the Valleyview Volunteer Fire Department amalgamated in 1973 and the Station 3 firehall was built.
Kamloops Fire Rescue Station No.3 has three bay doors with a one story attached building that accommodates a training room, kitchen, offices and rest area.
