In 1967, the tragic event of the Flying Firemen rocked the people of Langford and Vancouver Island. First-hand eye witness and newspaper accounts describe the crash of the PBY-5A Canso Water-bomber, which occurred while fighting a blazing out of control forest fire that threatened Goldstream, Skirt Mountain and residents on a hot sunny day in July.
