Over the weekend, the temporary overnight sheltering area in Smithers that is located across from their town hall caught on fire.
And while Smithers Fire and Rescue, alongside some other first responders, were able to get the scene quickly and contain the fire in a short amount of time, one person was unfortunately still pretty badly burnt and they’re being treated at the hospital.
The Town of Smithers then went onto to give their thanks to everyone who played a part in helping stop the fire from spreading any further.
