Summer Break Play has now resumed In all divisions of the CMS A house league A few changes from the first half exist In that two teams have moved up one division and they will be playing for extra points in their respective new divisions Reports on this weeks games will appear In next weeks soccer notes and It is hoped that referees and coaches will co operate by supplying details summaries of all games in cluding the names of all goal scorers Some reports on game sheets for the first half of the season were very sketchy In deed and occasionally not even completed Many md referees were very conscientious in completing the games reports so lets nave every one meet their standards In the second half of the season Refereelng schedules have been completed by Chief Referee Brian Turner and any referee who has not yet received his or her copy should contact Brian Immediately Bill secretary of the coach of the Minor Mosquito Phantoms and rather of two GMSA players has moved to Newmarket and BOB WITH PRIZE CATCH MOBE ON FIRES Just about everyone in the province has become familiar to some extent with the now famous fire Number IB which recently occurred In Northwestern Ontario during a crisis fire situation during late June and July of 1974 We quote verbatim herein the record of events as they happened to a member of a North Bay fire suppression unit crew member who was sent there to assist in a mammoth all out attack fire situation which has been described as one of the worst in years MEMOIRSOF On June 1974 we landed at airport along with four other unit crews As of that afternoon we were assigned to district and one fire standby The top brass was ex pecting a big flareup There were unit crews being shipped In from everywhere across the province That afternoon we were shipped to downtown Dryden and found a hotel room We remained on fire standby for three days Then It started Around am Saturday we were routed from slumber and told to pack up A dry lightning storm was tearing through the countryside We picked Up our- equipment and headed out to the blaze Accompanying us was another unit crew from Temagaml a great bunch of guys whom we met in the hotel Little did we know that we would be fighting fires together tor the next three weeks Lightning had struck a cottage and levelled it We had a line around it In no time and the boys worked hard Next a call came through for crew to head back to Dryden fire centre When the sun rose on Eagle Lake our first fire was well under control But alas Temagamls wasnt as fortunate They were shipped out to a lire early that morning Being fresh from a threeday rest they worked to bring it under control Two other fires were burning rapidly towards them Then as if the fires were controlled by some mysterious power fires No 18 and 20 united Into one raging inferno Word was given to the crew to back off the line because the fire was rolling towards them totally out of control Backtracking to the they decided tomake their last the Its quite an experience to have a fire burning towards you and theres nothing you can do Four hours later an aircraft arrived after the smote had lifted to ship the boys the path of the blaze At base camp 16 they had a chance to clean the smoke their lungs eyes etc Pretty near smoked meat at that time SACKED IN THE SHADE Meanwhile we were resting on the premises of our fire site Round one went to us this time We drove back to around Working oil night we were quite tired and I daresay dazed a bit I could barely write out the fire report We sacked out in the shade of the headquarters At am we were wakened and told to pack up again We were bound for another fire They flew us out and got a good look at It from the air It was a lightning strike on top of a mountain I strung out feet of hose up the mountainside and finally reached the fires edge Gustlng winds and the dry con ditions played havoc on our Initial attack measures Gerry our crew bos decided to call in for assistance Another unit crew was flown to the fire and along with water bombing we finally were able to bring It under control It must be that the bush was tinder dry and conditions were explosive We stayed at the fire site for two days and declarled It out back at fire centre on June 30 We were on fire standby at Dryden Are centre for two days On July 3rd we were shipped out to the big blaze fire No 19 At the time of our arrival at Base Camp No 18 the blaze had consumed acres of forested area On July we were told that It was time to move The previous night there had been some rainnot much but enough for us to get the Jump on the blaze Six unit crews were bivouacked near the camp That morning camp was broken and the big push was now In high gear Men and fire equipment were being shipped to all parts of the fire Helicopters and fixed winged aircraft were hauling nonstop through the morning hours It was anticipated that the wind would send the fire foiling by the late afternoon Temagaml and ourselves were once again reunited for what was to be quite an experience We were flown out by chopper to the end of Lake No 732 where we put up camp Our sector ran four and a half miles and tied into two separate lakes Our line ran half a mile between two lakes The terrain was treacherous That previous summer a large windstorm with winds over ripped through the area Trees varying In diameter were blown down all over the place Our lines bad to be strung through this blowdown area The working conditions were extremely demanding but as usual both crews rose to the occasion The Temagaml boys had a good mile of hose to lay over terrain that was worse than ours Around late afternoon thli was paying For the next two days we worked hard breaking Into our standing on top of a hill near the end of the and could see the far hill where things were boiling It was game over as the fire raced up Into the crown and roared across the ridge there was only a 200 foot narrows at the end of lake No 734 separating our line from the next sector The fire lumped that with little difficulty and began heading north of us burned roughly two miles In one afternoon FIRE ROLLS ON To the east of our camp the fire also rolled right over the meagre fire line that hastily established Dejected and tired we beaded back to camp with the knowledge that all our hard work went up In smoke and also the possibility that the fire would beam back down upon us At this moment In time however hard work was the least of our concern The Temagaml crew was deep Into the bush and with the direction the wind was blowing there was some concern as to whether or not they would be cut off by the blaze I beaded up towards their to warn them of the acute possibility of the cutoff fire headed their way Half a mile up the line I found them resting upon a rock They too knew this round went to the fire Everyone was almost ready to throw In the towel Everywhere around us smoke thick and quite black at times was billowing up They needed little prodding to return to camp We shut down the pump and were back In camp around pm Our Sector boss Rick Brydle was near in tears It could have been a lot of sweat Im not sure The radio was crackling with news of camp evacuations but no one said anything about camp four A helicopter flew over us late In the evening circled once and then left So It was to be our fate to stay in our swamp for the night After a quick game of everyone retired for the evening Sleep came fast and easy but not for everyone Macleod awoke around 2 am and came flying back into the tent silhouetted In red Feverishly he Informed his crew bow that It quite red on top of the lull and Mike Wood lifting the side of the tent saw more than Just a red sky The fire was Tying up the South side of a hill directly In front of us Alarm was given and everyone broke into feverish activity and I do mean feverish activity Hastily packing we evacuated the campsite A feeble attempt was made to string out hose and hold off the tire but when she rolled through the crown we knew that was It We had to go around the bay and pass the bottom of the hill where the fire was burning Led by Scotty with his headlamp which wasnt really needed blazing we proceeded along the North shore and made for the burned out area At am all escape by land was cut off The fire came thundering down the gorge with flames topping off 100 feet in the air At this time the lire lad built up enough momentum that it began creating Its own wind Smoke came rolling down the lake By this time we had stopped at the shore still dazed by what was happening CAMP GOES UP IN SMOKE Around am the fire was within feet of our empty campsite Our vantage point offered us quite a beautiful view At am July Camp No went up in a gust of smoke and flame Sleeping bags cooking utensils air mattresses and various personal effects were burned Nonetheless our problems werent finished Burning cinders picked up by the wind were being scattered all over Our next step was to toss all blankets and remaining sleeping bags shirts ana Jackets Into the lake and with a thorough welting down climb under them The but thing I wanted was to have my beard go up In smoke It was quite a spectacle 12 firefighters huddled under various assortment of dripping wet articles There was no sleep that night In camp four As dawn approached the situation had quieted right down and the pressing danger of being literally burned alive had passed The grayness of mind and body began to set In as the adrenalin ceased to flow Movements became slower and slower therefore was forced to resign from the executive Its quite likely that the Newmarket minor soccer association Is about to gain an able ad ministrator Bill a native of the Oakville area first became Interested In soccer while teaching in Oakville and since moving to Georgetown has been a very active member of the GMSA Sally has been appointed to the post of GMSA secretary for the remainder of the season and based on her work record the association the GMSA have got a very good replacement for BUI Parents coaches managers and players Involved In Helton and Peel play or the Ontario Cup have often envied the playing fields of their op ponents as they related tales of green grass good playing surfaces etc etc For some reason the local field seems to suffer from a lack of main tenance which retards the growth of grass while allowing weeds to survive and large bald areas to develop Many a visiting coach has complained of the dust bowl condition which exist in the goal areas during dry spells Although It Is logical that a smaller community like Halton Hills should have fewer playing fields than larger communities such as Burlington and Brampton it Is not logical that this fewer number of facilities receive less main tenance This year Georgetown were slated to host the and Peel Cup finals They are now going to Georgetown was asked to host an Ontario Cup SemiFinal This request was regretfully turned down Next year Georgetown la to have first chance at hosting the and Peel Finals Lets hope we have a playing surface suitable for the occasion HaltonPeel Report By Fred Kerr Halton and Peel Scoreboard Major Atom Division Brampton Georgetown Panthers Georgetown Panthers took a lead during the first half playing against a strong wind The first goal was scored by Gary from Kevin Robins Gary set up the second goal with an ac curate pass to Kirk Wamock who scored from close range The second half found Georgetown constantly on the attack with Bobby Morrow scoring the third goal from a scramble In the box and Michael Jones who has been taking excellent corner kicks throughout the season scored the fourth goal direct from a comer Another well earned shutout for Kevin Franks and his THE HERALD Wednesday August 1974- Page 7 passed The grayness of mind and body began to set In as the adrenalin ceased to flow Movements became slower and slower talk was rarely heard Richard Brydle assessed our situation All our life support systems had been destroyed but the men escaped unscathed Next step was to remove us from the sooty hole we were laying in At am radio contact was made with a helicopter flying overhead After a five hour wait in the bum relief reached us as a Hughes landed and took myself and Don to Base Camp No IB Within an hour the 12 survivors of Camp four were resting albeit tired sooty and despondent in the shade of the pine trees At this Juncture in time we decided that it would be apropos to have a name which would suit our experiences Thus The Dirty Dozen was born Our stay in base camp no IB was primarily one of rest as there was nothing we could do about the fire at that time The brass had a top priority meeting to plan their next move High winds and dry weather fed the thriving inferno Overall water and retardant bombing was useless Our only hope was a slight break In the weather things down for at least six hours July 8 found us heading for Camp No IS on the east side of Delano Lake There was already three unit crews stationed there The addition of The Dirty Dozen now reduced to 11 brought the number to 27 with a full complement of cook and camp boss For the next two weeks we worked hard and layed over three miles of hose One of the moat difficult phases of began Not so much difficult but rather tedious because one has to patrol his line and extlnquish every smudge that arises on it to within feet of the burn Continual watching Is a necessity because if your Is pulled and a smudge arises that hose has to be and the smudge put out We removed one line and four days after a hot spot showed up It required three thousand feet of nose to extinguish It Thats a lot of work for a mere one- acre hot spot FIRES GET QUIET By this lime the situation began to quiet down in the area Red Lake however had Its own troubles as two larger fires began to menace populated areas Nonetheless a dry lighting storm set things teen fires popped up and made eaters On July we were told to break camp and head to the west shore of Delano Lake There two other camps had set up This was to be a manpower centre from which the fire centre could draw unit crews Temagaml was fourth and we were fifth to go if more fires were spotted In forestry Jargon we were what Is known as Hell- attack unit crews ie crews which would be flown by chopper to any new lightning strikes The day was spent basically resting because we never knew exactly what to expect Talk of going home cropped up time and time again The guys were pretty well at the end of the line If we had to go through again what we already experienced I daresay that some of us would have thrown in the towel Although our situation at times reflected that of a full scale war there was no excuse for having to put us through another three weeks of that After a second day of laying around and resting everyone was Infected with the idea of heading home On July 27 we were released from region and flown Into town It was a Saturday night on the town and everyone enjoyed themselves That next morning we received news that we were bound for Ignace on fire standby The Temagaml boys remained behind So one third of The Dirty Dozen was driven to Ignace on fire standby where we waited and hoped not to be shipped out to a new fire The rains came the next day and spirits picked up We also met Ray Wardell and Jim Simms slightly diminished platoon However the threat of being sent to the two remaining fires not yet contained In the Thunder Bay and Atlkokan areas loomed over us News was received on July We were bound for North Bay via DCs The persistent rains had quieted things down suf ficiently tosUow for our release The flight took four hours and It didnt take everyone long to head for home GET READY FOR FALL Get your gum In shape and get In a Utile practice Read up on the Identification species and practice the estimating
