It’s been a busy holiday for fire crews in the District of North Vancouver.
By Monday afternoon there were three rescues – two at Quarry Rock and one in Lynn Canyon.

He said those that needed help only had minor injuries.
“It’s just, you know, a beautiful day out. People are enjoying the trails, [and] unfortunately accidents happen. None of it was caused by anything silly, just sheer accidents.”
Warner says the odds of a rescue go up when the sun is out, especially on a holiday.
