Lightning lights the forests LIGHTNING STRIKES kept the Kalum foresi service busy fight- ing nine forest fires last week, The first fire was reported July 11-and by last Friday nine new fires had been reported in the week, The fires were allsmall cnough to allow three-man initial attack crews from Terrace and Smithers — to quickly bring them under con- trol, said forest service operations ~-manager Joc Katasonoff -- ~ ~- Most of these fires were just two. or. three irees and ground fires of 50 feet by 50 feet,”’ ex- plained Katasonoff. Initial attack crews worked on fires mear Carpenter Creek, Beaver Bluff Lookout and north of Nass Camp. “The fires are all under control now bul we'll still be watching * them for possible flare-ups,’ said Katasonoff. While the forest service re- corded over 700 lighining strikes -in the district within two days last week, he said, it is usually only positive strikes that cause fires. A lightning location system reg- -isters strikes on a computerized map, allowing the forest service to monitor the electrical activity of the district and the province. -As of last Friday, the fre ‘danger was siill in the moderate class three rating. However, Katasonoff said the fire rating would be moved to the high class four rating if the dry, hot weather of last week con- tinued through the weekend. -In-case of more lightning ac- tivity, Initial attack crews were Stationed on red alert. : Two crews sat ready at Nass “Camp, while another crew sta- tioned itself at Meziadin. For three days last week, the in- itial attack crew of Terrace resi- ‘dents Trevor Shannon, Darren Schmidt and Kurt-Muller was sta- ‘tioned at the Farwest Helicopters hanger from 1:00 p.m. to be ready for the heat of the day. These nine fires bring the year- ly total number of forest fires in the Kalum forest district to 19, said Katasonoff. JUST MOVED?
