Big Lake Fire Quelled After Spreading 800 Acres
Fourteen men and two cats worked at Big Lake as a forest fire spread over 800 acres. Most lines were finished Thursday after perimeter containment. A separate fire near Monias Lake was also brought under control on Wednesday. Crews were recruited from the Chetwynd district. North West Telephone and BC Power crews raised lines above 27 feet to prevent train damage. They will stay for weeks to string trunk cables around town. The Chetwynd Water Board met to discuss water toll revisions and bids for the new system. Victoria engineer Allan Ker plans to visit Chetwynd in about two weeks. Local labour and equipment may be listed in bids as requirements.
