Kamloops Fire Rescue douses grass fire at Eagle Point Golf Resort

"Eagle Point looked like they had a small grass fire out there," said Gorman. "It had a couple of trucks, a bush truck, water, tender, and engine respond to that."

"We put some water on it, started digging some guard around it, forestry showed up to assist, and once they knocked it down, Eagle Point grounds crews were going to put a sprinkler in the area to keep it moist."

Gorman adds that crews were on scene for just two hours.

"It looks like they were there about two hours total with response time and everything."

Gorman went on to say that no structures were threatened by the blaze and no injuries were reported.

The golf course is open as usual today.
