As residents of B.C.'s Shuswap region work desperately to protect their homes, government officials are urging them to stop seizing equipment intended for provincial firefighting crews.

Over the weekend, the B.C. Wildfire Service reported that essential gear such as pumps, sprinklers, hoses and all-terrain vehicles has been disappearing in the North Shuswap area.

That includes sprinklers set up to prevent the Scotch Creek Bridge from catching fire, which have already been stolen three times.

    These people are dumb as fucking stumps. They’re stealing gear from the real fire fighters and endangering lives and property. I wish they would go back to cosplaying as soldiers and having angry circle jerks in each other’s basements while reciting their collective fantasy that they are going to overthrow the government and install a junta of white supremacists, white nationalists, racists, Nazis, and sovereign citizens and let the rest of us get on with the grown up work.
