Wild Fire and Logging in West Bragg Creek
As more than 450 wildfires rage across the province, the air is thick with smoke, and thousands of Albertans have been evacuated from their homes, I am APPALLED to read there is even small protest about the FIRE BREAK extension in BRAGG CREEK (see newspaper article Cochrane Eagle. Vol.22 Number 38).
I suspect the protest originates with non- residents of K-country and largely from the mountain bike culture with very little at stake should the area see a wildfire.
Personally, as an area resident, I feel we should applaud and support Spray Lakes Sawmills for their continued commitment to the development of a fireguard for our community.
Sincerely, Rob Bartlett
