Photograph of fire chief Aubrey Creed points to the small but important switch control box that activates the civil defense air raid warning sirens. Last week the Nechako signal was accidentally tripped at the BC Telephone office, the alternative activating point, at 4:30 am the siren blared for a few seconds, arousing several residents in the neighborhood.

Notes
Fourteen Sikorsky S-55 helicopters were used as workhorses and load carriers during construction. Carl Agar and his crew with Okanagan Helicopters took men and materials to otherwise inaccessible spots. Without these helicopters, Project engineers would never have maintained the construction schedule. Photographed by Art Hundert. Kitimat Heritage Advisory Commission Collection
