Prince Rupert wildfire is under control enough that the Bell 212 crew has been sitting on standby here at the base for any other call-ups. Sure enough, got one just after 10:30 this morning, north up the Kalum valley just before Treston Lake. Terry is running the 212 around in circles, bucketing off the Kalum River.

Job opening for ground crew at Bell 2, BC.

We are responding to wildfire R41118, which is burning adjacent to Highway 16 approximately 23 km southwest of Kitwanga at the Highway 37 junction and 68 km northeast of Terrace.

We are coordinating with the Ministry of Transportation as this situation evolves.

Hi fans!

Please note that due to the hot, dry weather, and the BC wildfire service starting to call up our aircraft into standby mode for the region, the Terrace base will be very short on any availability for adventure seekers. We're unable to provide any sightseeing tours or special events for the next while.

If you've got a bit of time, we highly recommend booking one of the glacier tours at Stewart base for filling your adventure bucket. Their tours availability should remain fairly untouched by the demand for wildfire service.

Taking advantage of a lull in the flying schedule for a "quick" engine change in one of the B3s. Then she'll be ready for a summer of drill moves in the BC Golden Triangle.
