Survivors of the Lakeland Mills fire gather outside after the explosion hit the sawmill on April 23. The workers were sent into a triage centre to get looked at where Jesse Cody, who took this photo, assisted in recovery efforts.

■ LAKELAND MILLS FIRE

Good Samaritan rushed in ALISTAIR MCINNIS sports@pgfreepress.com

Personal experiences surrounding the Lakeland Mills explosion and fire April 23 in Prince George have been similar in nature to other workplace tragedies. Uplifting stories of strength and courage, sombre tales of heartbreak and defeat. No doubt in shock after the initial explosion hit at the sawmill at approximately 9:40 p.m., workers had little time to react as the fire quickly spread. Survivors did so while helping co-workers escape the blaze. The fire claimed the lives of two mill workers, Alan Little and Glenn Roche, and left several in serious condition.

Firefighters, police officers, paramedics and other emergency personnel put their lives at risk in dealing with the disaster on site. Then there were the life savers at the University Hospital of Northern B.C., medical staff who responded to a Code Orange emergency to treat severely burnt victims. A compelling bravery story belongs to 28-year-old Jesse Cody. He didn’t face the catastrophe at Lakeland Mills as an employee or a member of an emergency response team, instead a civilian trying to be a good Samaritan. Cody was in his car at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Central Street when the initial explosion rocked the downtown core. He had just left his house off the corner of Fifth Avenue and Moffat Street, and was on a night out to go watch a

movie at the theatre. Changing his plans was a split-second decision. “The whole sky lit right up and a massive cloud of fire went up in the sky, so when the light went green, I floored it straight to the mill and went by the security gate there,” he said. Cody described the light from the explosion as being so bright he could read a book. But that paled in comparison to what he saw on site. Cody recalled seeing victims burnt so severely that skin was drooping and coming off them, workers battling broken noses and cuts on their legs. “Those guys didn’t have faces left,” he said. “They had turn to PAGE A3

Do you want to own one of the most unique-looking cars on the market? If so, take a look at the Nissan Juke. This compact car has a design inspired by race cars and motorcycles, and yet it is still as civilized as can be, with seating for up to five people. But wait, there’s more! Under the hood sits a surprising 1.6-litre direct injection gasoline turbocharged four-cylinder engine that develops a healthy 188 horsepower. It can be combined with a six-speed manual gear box or a CVT automatic transmission. The Juke is available with front- or all-wheel drive too! This is not just any run-of-the-mill all-wheel-drive: this advanced system splits the power front-to-rear and side-to-side! The four-door Juke has a 60/40 split rear bench that can also be reclined to offer a flat floor for more versatility.

Japanese automaker Nissan is definitely not resting on its laurels. As part of its regular restyling program, it was recently the small Versa’s turn to be redone. Consequently, we now have a curvier Versa than ever before. Changes have been brought in on the sedan version of the car, with a revamped hatchback expected soon. It may not appear to the naked eye, but the most recent Versa uses a new platform that increases interior room, making the car slightly bigger than its predecessor. Even the engine was revamped, with the 1.6-litre, four-cylinder powerplant developing a healthy 109 horsepower. While some motorists will choose the five-speed manual transmission, the optional CVT automatic transmission (meaning “continuously variable transmission,” a solution adopted by Nissan for most of its vehicles) should deliver even better fuel economy. This small Nissan has some very heavy competition on the market, but we are sure it will rise to the occasion!

COFI establishes mill safety task force Health and safety of employees is their number one priority, say a consortium of forest companies in B.C. John Allan, CEO of the Council of Forest Industries, announced May 2 that the industry has formed a task force to investigate combustion risks in mills. It’s part of an industry-wide response to mill safety following the fatal explosions at the Babine Forest Products mill in Burns Lake in January and at Lakeland Mills in Prince George last week. Each explosion and fire killed two millworkers. Last week WorkSafeBC issued orders to all sawmill employers in B.C., directing them to conduct a full hazard identification, risk assessment, and safety review, with particular focus on combustible dust; dust accu-

mulation; and potential ignition sources. “Until WorkSafe BC concludes their investigations into these incidents, none of us can say with certainty what caused the explosions at Babine and Lakeland,” said Allan. “It is not known if the causes of the two events are connected in any way.” The COFI task force will be comprised of wood products manufacturing company representatives and external scientists, insurance engineers and experts, and other stakeholders. The Task Force will be mandated to: • Quantify combustion risks related to dust from both green and dry wood; • Identify best practices for dust mitigation from other industries that have issues related to dust in manufacturing;

• Develop an industry-wide, auditable standard that can be utilized to provide independent assurance of mill safety; • Undertake outreach to all wood products manufacturing companies in BC to create an industry-wide approach to safety that is inclusive of both large and small operators. “We will be continue to be transparent with our employees, with government and with each other if we identify new combustion hazards or means of improving safety procedures,” said Canfor CEO Don Kayne. “We have taken every opportunity to increase our efforts in safety since the serious incidents at Lakeland and Babine and this joint initiative is a next and very important step.”

‘It’s something I wish I didn’t see’ from PAGE 1

no hair, no nothing.” In reacting so promptly to the explosion, Cody arrived on the scene before firefighters, the RCMP and the ambulance service. After a ladder truck arrived and firefighters began battling the blaze, an RCMP officer showed up and told Cody to head home. Cody stuck around and assisted two burnt workers he noticed walking in the parking lot, calling 911 before eventually waving down an ambulance. A triage was set up at a mobile shop on site, and Cody assisted in moving workers there. When he wasn’t assisting injured workers and emergency personnel, he took photos and video. Among photos Cody posted on Facebook was a list of Lakeland

employees who assembled at the triage. He admitted that a few of his images upset other Facebook users. “But that’s the reality of it. That’s the head count. That’s what they were doing and they even labelled which ones were planer and which ones were sawmill, so they knew who was who.” Ben Gibson, a 24-year-old who was driving the forklift at Lakeland Mills, was in the mobile shop on a lunch break when the explosion occurred. “I had the window right in front of me so the second it blew, I seen it from the start,” said Gibson, a employee of Lakeland Mills for five years. “That’s all I really saw when I went to bed that night. I just keep seeing that initial blast over and over, and it’s something I wish I didn’t see.” Gibson was one of about 50

workers at Lakeland Mills when the fire started. Twenty-two were working in the planer mill. “I’m not injured whatsoever, but I kind of had a unique view of the explosion because there were the people in the sawmill who experienced it, and then there were the people in the planer who experienced the planer shaking and felt and and heard the explosion, and then there were three of us in the (mobile) shop, in the lunchroom there.” Sawmill workers were also in the lunchroom on break when the fire hit, which may have helped limit the number of fatalities. “They were describing that the wall came down on top of them,” Gibson said. “It sounds like that’s

kind of what saved a lot of their lives because the fire went down on the wall and then they had the wall to kind of shield them from that.” Gibson and Cody recalled leaving the mill at close to the same time, between 12:30 a.m. and 1 a.m. Gibson was able to leave after signing his name for a head count list, providing contact

information to RCMP and checking out. Gibson, whose wife Nicole is a former Lakeland employee, managed to drive home in his pickup truck that night. “I was hoping everyone made it out OK. That was pretty much it,” he said. “On the back of my mind, I was worried about my job.”

University presidents were challenged to train students to fill the need for skilled labour in the north during a lunch at the University of Northern British Columbia recently. It was the first time university presidents met in Prince George in over a decade. Janine North, CEO of Northern Development Initiative Trust, made it clear there is not only a looming skilled labour shortage but a growing need for employees to support all the infrastructure that will be required as towns and cities with billions of dollars of investment pouring in grow. Besides skilled labourers, northern communities will need everything from engineers to foresters and health care professionals. “The north is on the move,” she said, adding the north is experiencing unprecedented levels of investment in several industries. She said what attendees at the lunch, particularly the presidents of the University of British Columbia, University of Victoria, Simon Fraser University, Royal Roads University, Thompson Rivers University and UNBC, have in common is access to the largest pool of creative young people and their minds. She added it’s important universities offer training that will lead to solid employment

following graduation. “Your mission is to match resources and training opportunities with vibrant energetic youth. Are you doing that, or are you creating a human pipeline to nowhere?” she asked. “Rural B.C. powers our provincial economy,” she pointed out. Yet fewer than 100 grads per year head north for employment from all the southern-based universities combined. North mentioned a student from a southern university who recently trained at a field school in Costa Rica, then asked why similar opportunities couldn’t exist in the north, in communities like Kitimat, a community experiencing a boom, or Burns Lake, one transitioning past a bust, so southern students could experience relevant situations as well as northern culture. A lack of services in the north, for example the fact there are 350 patients per dentist in De Ly nd a PILON/ Fre e Pre s s Vancouver compared to 3,500 in northeast B.C., provides a real opportunity for some- There was plenty of good discussion at UNBC last month as post-secondary institutions were challenged with filling the skills gap in the province. one to set up a prosperous practice.

This increase is projected to maintain 1,915 more direct, indirect and induced person years of employment (potentially limit the decline from 13,371 pre-epidemic total jobs to 8,763 total jobs instead of 6,848). Alternatively, it is possible to increase midterm timber supply to 8.9 million cubic metres per year without affecting the Prince George old growth order if licensees are able to harvest stands where the minimum volume is 140 m3/ha and access the entire timber harvest land base.” So states the confidential Mid-Term Timber Supply Report presented to the minister of forests in February.
