The BC Forest Service says the theft of a water pump and hoses has hindered fire suppression efforts on the Harrop Creek wildfire.
They say one water pump and ten 100-foot (33 m) lengths of hose went missing during the night of Monday-Tuesday.
Information officer Carlee Kachman says it’s not the first time it’s happened, but that doesn’t make it any less disturbing.
Anyone with any information about the theft is asked to contact the RCMP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
