Once again, our employees came to the rescue.
ONE MORNING IN OCTOBER a Leader crew was heading east of Grande Prairie to a job site. Leader's coiled tubing unit was in the lead, followed by the supervisor's pickup and the N2 unit. Suddenly, a huge fireball lit up the night in front of the group.
As the supervisor's pickup neared the fire, Mike McClure and
Tim Delaney saw a dump truck in the ditch and a super B
lumber truck engulfed in flames. The dump truck was on its
side and the Super B had driven through the ditch into a
farmer's field. Tim grabbed a fire extinguisher as Mike ran
toward the scene. As they approached the dump truck, the
flames spread around it. They could hear the driver calling
for help. Mike climbed onto the truck and removed the driver
with the aid of another witness. Mike turned the stunned
driver over to Barry MacDonald and then followed Tim to the
Super B, which was now completely engulfed in flames.
Tim arrived first but could not approach the cab, as the
flames were too powerful. Tim and Mike noticed a person
staggering around without a jacket and with only one shoe.
They ran to him and asked if he was the driver of the truck.
The man was in shock and did not know what had happened. Mike
and Tim sat the man down and discovered that he was the truck
driver. He had been thrown from the truck upon impact with
the dump truck. Mike, Tim and Barry, along with Jeff Brewer
and Darren MacDonald cared for the men while waiting for
emergency crews to arrive. When emergency personnel arrived,
the men were transferred to their care and our crew continued
on their way.
