Forest Fires Rage on East West Fronts in British Columbia
Winds up to 65 miles per hour fanned several fires across the Prince George forest district. The Taber Mountain blaze neared the Six Mile Lake resort and kept crews guarding the Schlitt Brothers sawmill as fires expanded to about 3500 acres. A separate 4000 acre blaze endangered timber, while 35 firefighters were moved to safety on Dean Channel near Prince Rupert. An additional 700 acre flare near Quesnel threatened a remote sawmill amid extreme heat and looming weekend lightning. Water bombers were placed on standby due to high fire danger statewide.
