Events CPARS Was Involved With
Lost Creek Fire 2003Club members assisted forestry by manning road blocks to prevent civillians from entering the fire zone.
Road blocks were set in place day and night 24hrs, this lasted for 1 week. Members from the Foothills Amateur Radio Society from the Calgary area also assisted.
Also heavy equipment was dispatched via Amateur Radio because of the nature of the extream fire and rugged back country.
Two club members were operating dozers and low bed trucks the very day the fire started. Storm knocks out power, leaves residents in the dark 2005
Sept 10, 2005 a freak snowstorm left the pass dark. For 5 days members transported fuel every 6 hours
day and night at their own expense including vehicle fuel to get there, after a generator was brought down from Calgary

The generator was set up at the repeater station in Burmis that houses the 911 Emergency repeater thus keeping the system operative. Full Moon Adventure Company
