Members of the Lone Butte, 100 Mile, 108 Mile and Lac la Hache and other area fire departments escorted a fallen firefighter John Ansel Warman in a procession from 100 Mile House to Williams Lake on Jan. 6.
Williams Lake Fire Department members greeted the remaining two trucks from the procession – others had dropped off on their way up the highway – at the outskirts of Williams Lake pullout before proceeding to the Five Rivers Crematorium for a ceremony.
Warman was a fire captain and first responder with the Lone Butte Fire Department and recently received his five-year service pin.
He passed away on Jan. 1, 2016 after a courageous battle with cancer.
