Dossier nº 2023-1974
On July 13th, 2023, at 3:30 p.m., the Revelstoke RCMP were notified of a workplace fatality involving a BC Wildfire Service firefighter.
RCMP learned that a 19-year-old female wildland firefighter was working alongside a team clearing brush within a remote area where a small fire had started. Upon the firefighting team losing contact with their fellow firefighter, they discovered her caught under a fallen tree. They immediately began first aid.
The firefighter was airlifted to the Queen Victoria Hospital, where she had succumbed to her injuries.
The events surrounding her death are being actively investigated by the RCMP, BC Coroners Service, WorkSafeBC and the BC Wildfire Service.
Our deepest sympathies go out to the family, friends, and fellow firefighters of this young firefighter who tragically lost her life serving her community, says Cpl. James Grandy, Southeast District RCMP spokesperson. It’s a reminder of the inherent risks first responders face working tirelessly to protect our communities.
