It was an incredible feeling to welcome Red Deer, Alberta Firefighter Dwayne Buckle to Port Hardy today to mark the end of his 1600km Hike for the Cure! We can’t say enough about the journey this guy has made to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. 82 days of walking and thousands raised! Don’t forget to donate and help end the fight!

Underway with Hike for the Cure!

We’re excited to welcome Red Deer Firefighter Dwayne Buckle to Port Hardy today after more than 1500km of hiking to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society! PHFR will be meeting Dwayne around 2pm this afternoon at the Bear Cove intersection and escorting him into town to Carrot Park. Keep an eye out and like, share, and donate! And did you know that January is Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month? Hike for the Cure

We’re looking forward to welcoming Dwayne tomorrow!

Re: highway situation south of Port McNeill.

Thanks for everyone’s patience today as we work through the aftermath of this storm. Ten calls today so far for our crews in the last 24hrs. The generator at Hall 1 is running, and crews are enjoying some hot food while they rest. Latest word from BC Hydro and Port Hardy Emergency is to expect the power to be out for 24hrs. The roads heading south are in rough shape, so travel only for essential purposes and check www.drivebc.ca before your leave. As always, if you encounter downed power lines, call 911. We’ll be here for you throughout these next few days as we get back to normal. #bcstorm

UPDATE 1520: Road has reopened to single lane traffic and the scene has been passed over to Domcor Flagging. Byng Road shut down between Bronze Rd. (Tacan Site) and Old School House Store. Fort Rupert Road also shut down at the highway. BC Hydro on scene. No access to Storey’s Beach, Fort Rupert or the Airport. No current ETA for reopening. #bcstorm
