As Chapleau life returns to normal after the power outage of 2010, it was in June 1967, 43 yearsago,thataforestfireresultedintheevacuation of about 90 percent of the community's residents.
Charlie Purich, who was working as a purchasingagentforthedepartmentoflandsand forests recalled that the fire in 1967 that evacuated the town was called69-8. 69 stoodfor the Districtand8 wastheeighthfirethatyear The firestartedFridayJune2 justnorthofMontreal LakeandMosquitoLakein13Gtownshipandits perimeterasof21:15June3was3250acresand OnJune4at11:00hrs.itwas3300acres.Thenit spreadto3550acresby14:00hrs. Then to 4450 acresby17:00hrs. Thento5000acresby17:30 hrs.OnJune5at07:15itwas5800acresandthen itstartedtodie.
Charlie added that it started in 13 G Township and followed the west side of SideburnedLakeandtheeastsideofHighbrush LakecrossingHighway101andcontinuingona direct path toward the town. The fire broke out about 12 miles southwest of Chapleau on the southsideofHighway101west.
ReportingonthefireinitsJune8,1967, edition, the Chapleau Sentinel said that tractor trailers loaded with bulldozers and other equipmentwererushedtotheareatocreatefirebreaks. However,bySundaymorningatdaylightthefire aidedbyhigherwindshadjumpedHighway101 andwasheadedtoChapleau.
DistrictForesterJimKeddiehadadvised Reeve T.C. "Terry" Way-White of the situation and a meeting was held in the Town Hall at 11 a.m.attendedbythecouncilandothercitizensas well as lands and forests personnel and Ontario Provincial Police. The decision was made to evacuate the municipality and the order was givenbyMr Way-White.
The exodus began on Sunday afternoon with between 800-900 vehicles beginning the trekoutoftownafterthesignalhadbeengivento evacuate.Therewere90boxcarsintheCPRyard and a hospital train had left Sudbury to assist with the emergency At its peak, nearly 400 firefighterswereonthescene.

Ron Lewis and Fire ChiefAdAndrews, policing and safety George Nutkins and Doug Kavanaugh of the CPR and ChiefForestRangerLawlessCecileandDeputy Chief Ranger Lloyd Woods also played major rolesduringtheemergency.
For the record, Charlie and others have been providing me with details on this fire for some time, and I had actually advised Mario Lafreniere I was doing it just a couple of days before the power outage caused by a forest fire nearWawa.
Charlie also noted that "When the town was evacuated we assisted the OPP with our Lands and Forests trucks, patrolling the streets anditwasaneeriefeelinglateatnight."
ByMonday,somerainhadfallenandthe evacuation order was lifted. Chapleau residents begantoreturnhome.
