Been away from LX forums for a while
I guess two maybe three months?? I dunno. My computer took a crap one night and lost all my pass worded sites. I remembered all my passwords but been too lazy to log in to my passworded web sites except facebook lol.Just keeping busy up until two weeks ago. I lost my job. Im sure by now 90% of BC is aware of the sawmill explosion in Prince George on April 23. Well unfortunately that was my employment. Luckily I was not on shift that night. I would have been a casualty had the explosion happened 24 hours earlier. Unfortunately two people died that night, and several others are in hospitals in the lower mainland and the island, with life threatening burns. 60% burnt and higher. Two of my co-workers with the least severe burns have been released from hospital in PG while one still remains in UHNBC. We pray we dont lose any more. So yeah..im unemployed now as well as 150 directly related employees of Lakeland Mills. Still in mourning as not only was one of the men killed in the fire my co-worker, he was my cousin as well. The mood is still sombre in PG as the reality of it all kicks in.

Very sorry about you loosing your job; wife has been out of work over a year; not much opportunity in our area. And of course it's awful to hear about the mine tragedy. Best of luck Brother!

From what I have read, could have been a dust explosion............

The BC government has ordered all provincial sawmills to undergo a safety check.
The Lakeland Mills sawmill explosion follows a blast in January at the Babine Forests Products mill in Burns Lake, north of Prince George, which killed two workers and injured 19 others.says it is too early to say which caused either blast.
