The Crowsnest Fire
The Crowsnest Fire
August 21, 2003
Fires rage in Crowsnest
Pass.
Soon, they’re
out
of
control
50 Meters highFlames
Flames
150 School buses deep
Residents were forced to evacuate.
But what do you salvage?
Keep-sakesJewelry
Photographs
And of course,
Pets
SALVAGED
Some Residents Couldn’t Look Away…
But With A Scene Like This…
Who Could?
In The End, 20,000 Hectares Burned
That’s bigger than ALL OF LETHBRIDGE
Tourism and Forestry Experienced
Sharp
Declines
However,
Burnt wood can be salvaged, local sawmill
companies profit.
Burnt forests allow new life…
there were
upsides.
