The North Saanich fire department helped douse a different kind of heat on Monday as Greater Victoria hit record-setting temperatures.
The department’s trucks sprayed water high over a field to mist water down on students from the North Saanich Middle School. The school tweeted both students and staff appreciated the cool down method on the school year’s hottest day.
