Fernie Fire Leaves Fernie Besieged by Inferno
Cranbrook August 2 Fernie British Columbia with its mills and railway terminals wiped off the map as a child cleans a slate. Between 70 and 100 people perished and six thousand residents are now homeless, camping on a prairie three miles away. Property losses reach five million dollars. The Crow’s Nest Pass Coal company offices and a Woodware house survive among a row of six sacks on Elk river bank.
