Late Breaking News in Williams Lake


What a crazy news day. This morning there was a chlorine leak near Scout Island (Williams Lake) and the hazz mat team was called in. Everyone who lives or works along the lake were evacuated. So, my hubby was sent away from work, because Winsor Plywood is located near the lake. All the displaced people were sent to the Gibralter room in the complex. The chlorine leak is now under control. Shortly after the news about the chlorine, we had a call in that Poplar Glade Elementary School was on fire. They believe the fire was started in the wiring. The school cannot be salvaged. The students were safely transported to the gym of the high school near by (Columneetza). Apparently there are some hot spots flaring up, so the areas near Poplar Glade are now being evacuated. Plus it is very windy right now and that is not helping matters either. I am sure you will see it on tonight's news (Global and CTV). Also check out www.wltribune.com for more info.

It happened while all the kids were at school? That is scary...
