Fernie Fire Devastates Town as Forest Blaze Rages
Eyewitness reports from Fernie describe a vast forest fire sweeping toward the town. With 28,000,000 feet of lumber lost and the Great Northern depot left standing only as a relic, residents flee to Cranbrook as flames cut off river crossings and bridges. About 3,000 people camp in open shelters while officials plan a rebuilt Fernie.
