TRANSCRIPT

We realized that this is a structure that it's what we call a protect in place structure...we couldn't let it burn because of the toxic cloud that the smoke would create and would probably move over the heavily populated areas of both Shawnigan and Cobble Hill and Cowichan Bay areas.

We couldn't let it fall down because it would probably create a dam in the river and also, again, the creosote and the toxic chemicals used to treat the wood would not be good for that stream as well so it was... we took it very serious
