Supplying emergency communications can be an education. Thats what New
Brunswick amateurs discovered in the Gagetown forest fire last May.
Several days of warm weather had left the forests tinder-dry. Fires did
break out, but they were usually small and easily put out. The Gagetown
fire was different.
Soldiers from the nearby Canadian Forces base started it. The fire was an
accident and confined to the base and Canadian Forces personnel were sure
thay could handle it. Then, the wind shifted. The fire gained strenth.
It moved along Highway 102, threatening homes there and even in Gagetown
itself.
