operative might have prevented last years Grove fire near Prince George from reaching the disastrous proportions it did This was the opinion expressed in interviews by two of the three Prince George men who spoke to the North Northern � ern Interior fire control course Thursday on protection co ops Co operatives can start fire control almost immediately af after � ter the blaze is spotted and have the best men at their dis disposal � posal said Dennis McDonald area protection officer with the BC Forest Service Harvey Anderson chairman of the forest protection commit committee � tee of the Willow River Forest Association said that under the co op all resources all pooled for immediate action It was in fact last summers Grove fire which impressed the 15 companies of the association with the need for quick and effective action in case of fire Mr Anderson said The value of co operation in flehtininM fires win their -initial stages had been discussed be fore but the mills were not in permanent sites and no action was taken However this year the lum lumbermen � bermen of the Willow River area have decided to pool their re resources � sources of equipment man manpower � power and experience for mu mutual � tual benefit Mr Anderson said Previously only the company on whose sslcs the fire broke out was directly responsible for initial fire control and notifying the forest service but this was not adequate No matter where a fire breaks out its control and suppression are important to all lumbermen in the area and the co op should prove to be of great benefit Mr Anderson
