Photograph By Shaw, Don TRAN:EX Residents of Spences Bridge are taking their railway safety grievances to local and corporate officials but it remains to be seen if they'll be heard. The breaking point for the community was Aug. 11 when a derailed train rolled six kilometres from Spences Bridge to Gold Pan Provincial Park allegedly sparking three wildfires along the way. One family was forced to fight back the flames before they engulfed its farm. The structures survived but an entire orchard was lost. "It's a real concern we're living," said Dwayne Rourke. Rourke will be moderating a public meeting next Tuesday with an invitation list that includes the area MP, MLA, a Thompson Nicola Regional District official, First Nations chiefs, fire chiefs, CN and CP rail representatives and even Senator Nancy Greene Raine.
