While returning from a trouble call in Fort Liard on Saturday, Fort Simpson linesmen, Clod Manalo & Kerry McKinley, were the first on scene of accident about 10 kilometres outside of Ft. Liard.
They arrived on scene minutes after an operator had over turned a Skidder on the side of the high way. Upon investigation they found an injured man inside the cab. Kerry & Clod applied immediate first aid, called local emergency services and stayed on scene until the RCMP arrived. Brian Hope, the Fort Liard plant superintendent, drove the injured man to the medical Centre escorted by the RCMP.
First aid training is essential for our crew but also others in our lives...whether family, friends, coworkers or strangers.

The crews out at the Snare hydro site have been working non-stop, alonside ENR (firefighters for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources) since early July keeping the fires from damaging assets at the site - and what job they've been doing!
Only eighteen wooden distribution poles running to CN Hill, where there are a couple of small buildings and a communications tower, were destroyed by fire, along with damage to three wooden transmission structures (poles) and one span of tranmission wire. The majority of the damage has already been repaired.
The picture above shows just how close the fire got to the Cascades plant but thanks to extra brushing around the staff house -- the property was protected. More pictures will be uploaded and shared.
Heavy rains these past coupld of days has really put a damper on the fires at the Snare site and ENR crews have left the site but continue to monitor all fire in the area.
