I feel compelled to blog about this only because it has been dominating the Prince George media and the British Columbia media all day. The News about the fires, the biggest in the history of the city of Prince George, even made the National News.
It started in a Canfor mill 6 PM yesterday evening. I live northwest of town, a long way from where the fire started and later spread so unlike nearly everyone I spoke to today I noticed nothing. When I checked my flickr photos this morning I saw this photo. The weather forecast had a smoke warning. I knew something was up. I eventually heard all about it on theCBC news during my drive to work.
The biggest questions are - will Canfor rebuild their plywood Mill? and what will happen to the 300 or so people who lost their livelihood?
