Xxxxxx and Mr. Park shall procure that there shall be held a meeting of the Board of the Company at which:
Xxxxxx and Mr. Andreschefski seemed to be of the view that there was a certain lack of clarity of direction coming from personnel of the appellant, in particular Xx. Xxxxxxxx, concerning the fighting of this fire prior to Xx. Xxx taking over on the 29th. It may be that the size and ferocity of this fire made suppression efforts particularly difficult and Xx. Xxxxxxxx appears to have lacked experience in fighting a blaze of these dimensions. In any event, Xx. Xxx appears to have been more suited to cope with this very active fire because of his wider experience.
Xxxxxx and Mr. Andreschefski said that Xx. Xxxxxxxx did not give them detailed directions on the evening of the 28th. These persons and Xx. Xxxxxxx were, however, experienced forest workers. In any event, it appears that these persons were back at first light on the 29th doing what was necessary to try to build a satisfactory fire guard to get containment of this fire. Xx. Xxxxxxxx was somewhat late arriving on the morning of the 29th and that circumstances may have contributed to some lack of coordination of effort for a time on the early morning of June 29th. 37 The trial judge was also critical of the lack of use of water bomber services early on the 29th. With respect, it seems to me that the evidence indicates that the water bombers were called out earlier than usual and it is clear from the evidence of an operator of this equipment that it was felt that the fire had got beyond the stage where it would be useful to apply further fire retardant by this methodology. Xx. Xxx also observed in his evidence that it was difficult to utilize helicopters with buckets during the 29th because when they were near the fire, they tended to spread it, and therefore, fighting the fire from the air really was not a viable option at this stage. As I earlier recounted, on the evening of June 29, Dow had directed Xxxxxxxx and a crew to do some back burning. The back burn fire was mistakenly set outside the existing fire guards. Clearly, this procedure was inefficiently done and instead of helping the situation, it made it worse. The result of this was that additional timber was burned. The trial judge was critical of this conduct of the appellant and I believe that criticism was well founded.
