Puddle Jumper Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 I couldn''t believe it....April 11th. and here I see a 204 with a bucket underneath. Around the Dryden area here we have already have had about 3 small fires...mostly due to irresponsible people burning brush...but never the less they are already asking people to stop burning when it is windy. I took a small hike out in the bush and things already are starting to look dry. I guess we just haven’t had enough precip this past winter. Never know it may be another year of chasing fires.

Heli Ops Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 Just out of curiosity which parts of Canada have the most fire activity in the season. Heli Ops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGP Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 My guess would be Provincial Heli from Lac DuBonnet...they are the closest operator with a 2X4...this early in the season. I would say Ontario's North/West region has the most fire activity...and Dryden is where to be...the fire centre for the MNR is located there.

4961 Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 B.C. got to be around the south east part of the province. Creston, Cranbrook. Every year the place has action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-rex Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 Around Alberta the most activity is definately around the Slave Lake area. Lac la Biche,Red Earth parts. Good luck trying to find those places on a map! I will sent some Mosquito samples to you to NZ!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddle Jumper Posted April 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 Nope wasn''t provincial, he''s got his 206 down here doing a little aerial seeding. I was Superiors Heli from the longlac area. Most of the time John keeps his machines away from this area until things start heating up. I''m sure that Delta will be running one of his big birds over here soon...they usually park a machine at the OMNR on spec every year...not a bad idea if you ask me afterall they are usually one of the first on fires every year. Bye the way no-one would happen to know of an operator hungry for a low time guy....I can do absolutely anything you throw my way...and I don''t even mind working on the ground for minimum wage. If so send a PM my way. I guess its time to make that old fax machine run non stop again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
