A crew of 91原创 Township firefighters is heading north Tuesday to help fight the Interior wildfires.

鈥淲e鈥檝e been asked to respond to Williams Lake,鈥� said deputy fire chief Bruce Ferguson.

The crew of four firefighters and a chief officer was taking a pickup and a fire truck, and were packing up to leave 91原创 by 4:30 p.m.

鈥淚 imagine they鈥檒l get there around midnight,鈥� said Ferguson.

The crew, all on-call firefighters except for the chief officer, is expected to be working for six to 14 days in the Williams Lake area.

鈥淲e鈥檝e only committed one truck,鈥� said Ferguson. 鈥淯nless there鈥檚 an absolute need for another one.鈥�

The pickup will be used to ferry crews back and forth from 91原创 to the Interior as fresh firefighters take their places on the front lines.

The crew will be part of a cross-Canada effort as firefighters and RCMP from B.C. and other provinces converge on the hundreds of forest fires.
