For the next two weeks, KamloopsMatters will be profiling a BC Wildfire Service employee at the Kamloops Fire Centre. KFC coordinates the wildfire response across south-central B.C., from Blue River in the north to the U.S. border in the south, and from Bridge River in the west to Monashee Mountains in the east. The fire centre employs around 50 permanent staff and a large number of seasonal support staff.
The goal of this 10-part feature is to give our readers a better understanding and a bird’s-eye view of what happens at the centre, and to put a face to the people who are behind the scenes and on the frontlines.
At just 24 years old, Madison Smith already has four fire seasons under her belt.
