Testimonials May 2010 Willy was travelling to Musselwhite Mine on Tuesday evening when he spotted a tree on fire on the power line. Him and another worker, Mitchell Clavet, worked to put the fire out. The fire was reported and assessed the next day. --- Thanks to Wildon Wiring they prevented what could have been a huge potential forest fire. Wildon Wiring's crew today will remove the burnt tree as well as spray water all around area. There is previsions for Wildon to remove the identified trees that may pose danger of hitting the line as well as we will take the line down during the July shutdown to inspect and repair the conductors if damage is noted. One thing to note we brushed this area during the winter months this year. If we didn't this could have been much worse. --- A big to thank Willy and Mitch for their efforts in preventing a more serious situation. Their quick thinking and hard work allowed for a potentially dangerous situation to be defused quickly.
