4 Car Fire at BJ Auto Wreckers



Courtesy of Welcome to Williams Lake:

Just before 11:00pm Saturday night, two men who said they were driving by Bee Jay Auto Wrecking on Mackenzie Avenue noticed a single vehicle on fire within the storage compound and called 911.

The Williams Lake Fire Department arrived shortly after the call was made, but the vehicle fire was so intense that it quickly spread to vehicles on both sides of it.

Bee Jay's owner Ken Preeper advised that although he couldn't be certain at the time, the row the cars were in is often used for Bee Jay's own salvage and stored vehicles.

Crews battled the flames for more than 20 minutes before extiguishing the fire. There was no report of anyone having been injured, and no cause was given for the fire at this time
