Smoke hampers aircraft search in northeast BC
News from Dawson Creek describes forest fire smoke hindering a Friday search for two missing people from July 19 on a Dease Lake to Dawson Creek flight. Pilot Jim Heemskerk and attendant Darlene Keilbart, both 24 and 28, were in a twinengine Aerostar. Military planes from Comox and Edmonton aided, with civilian planes recalled due to Fort Nelson fire smoke. Evacuations occurred along the Alaska Highway, including Fireside and Coal River, as 25 residents moved inland. Fires threaten Irons Creek and Contact Creek, burning about 30,000 hectares since late June. Winds 60 kph, low humidity, and heat hamper firefighting near Lower Post and Mighty Moe's Resort.

He said reporting small numbers invites calls for fewer Indians, while large numbers invite accusations of slaughter. Hydro has yet to obtain definitive figures from Indigenous spokesmen as it seeks to assess the impact of the Peace River dam project near Taylor to Hudson's Hope.
