- $00,000 Acres of B.C. Forest

Ablaze Over the Long Weekend

«

VANCOUVER CP -
Nearly 2,000 men were
battling 700 forest fires
covering 100,000 acres
throughout British Columbia
Monday as the weather
continued hot and dry.

Hank Doerksen, the
provincial forest service fire
suppression manager,
described the situation as
extremely dangerous and
little relief is expected for
the next five days in B.C,’s
worst fire season in recent
years.”

More than $7 million has
been spent fighting the
blazes, triple the cost of the

1977 forest fire season.

The only relief during the
weekend was in the nor-
thwest part of the province
where rain and cooler
temperatures held fires in
check,

The forest service said the
Prince George forest district
had overcast skies Sunday
and air tankers in that area
were grounded. On Monday,
all 25 water bombers, in-
cluding three on loan from
the Saskatchewan forest
service, were in action
throughout the province
against the fires.

MP’S Visit Postponed

..The planned visit to the
Skeena Riding of Tona
Campagnolo, MP and
Minister of Fitness and
Amateur Sport, following
her attendance at the
Commonwealth Games at

Edmenton has been post ©

poned.

.«The minister has been
called back to Ottawa, where
it is expected she will be
attending an urgent meeting
called hy the Prime Minister
to- deal with special
measures to strengthen the
economy, transfer the Post
Office to a Crown Cor-
poration status, cut several
billion dollars from federal
income taxes, and reduce the
role of government in
business.

following that Minister of
Justice’s resignation fast
week, undoubtedly will be
included in the prime
minister’s agenda, A small
cabinet shuffle is anticipated
as a result.

. When the prime minister
called his sudden telecast to
the nation speech last week,
rumours said to have
emanated from the NDP
benches, were prevalent that
he was about te announce his
resignation and from the
P.C. benches that he was
about to call an election.

. Although, during his
speech, the Prime Minister
sald he would not be calling
an election, ‘‘at this time’, in
response to pressure by

HIT HARD

The Nelson and Kamloops
districts were the hardest hit
during the weekend,
reporting 320 new fires since
Friday. Virtually all the new
outbreaks were caused by
lightning. The largest is a
4,000 acre fire near Quesnel
which, due to high winds,
broke through some of the
guards built areund it.

New fires were also
reported at Dease Lake and
Telegraph Creek.

Doerksen said that there
have been problems keeping
supplies moving to
firefighting bases. Inone day
at Kamloops 250,000 gallons

of air tanker gasalme was
wed along with hundreds of
tons of fire retardent.

In the Nelson forest
district, fuel for water
bombers ran out at
Revelstoke and Cranbrook
and was low at Castlegar but
more was on the way.

The Nelson area had 18
aircraft and 242 men battling
fires, 187 of which had
broken out since Friday.

Inneighboring Washington
state. the department of
natural resources imposed
logging closures on 1.5
million acres of forest
because of the dry conditions
in the woods.
