High winds make fighting Baie-Sainte-Anne peat moss fire difficult, says fire chief
About 50 people on scene to bring fire under control
High winds Wednesday night made fighting a large peat moss fire at Theriault & Hachey Peat Moss in Baie-Ste-Anne difficult said local fire Chief, Ligouri Turbide.
It's believed the fire started in a large stacked pile of peat moss waiting to be moved and processed in the plant.
Turbide said heat builds up in the piles of peat moss and they can combust.
"It was like everything was on fire," Turbide said describing what he saw when the fire department arrived on scene at 11 p.m. "It was real high winds. It was windy all night. It was going fast."
The fire chief said he estimated the field that was on fire to be about a half a mile long, along with the stacks of peat moss that are about 20 feet high by 200 feet long.
"The whole thing was on fire just the way it looked when we got to the scene there."
Crews from the Department of Natural Resources and Energy and staff from at the peat moss plant and another plant battled the fire until it was under control at 5 a.m. Turbide said it took the efforts of about 50 people on site to get it under control.
"Now what needs to happen is they need to turn those piles of peat moss and apply water to it. Usually that takes anywhere from three to four days to turn one pile."
CBC News did not receive a response for comment from Theriault & Hachey Peat Moss Ltd.

WOW
That's funny, I was watching a large American news network call them "Climate Fires" all day long a couple of days ago.
James Risdon
Thanks for the report. Important to know when there are massive fires near home.
Justin Gunther
I called Natural Resources to inquire about the wildfire situation in NB yesterday at approximately 4:15PM.

Reply to @Justin Gunther: Methinks our infamous turkey hunter and NB Power overseer knows I am not you. Trust that Higgy et al know I spoke personally to him and several others before and during an interesting nomination in April A2018 when he ousted a seated MLA and they were teasing me about sending me butter tarts in the mail. Trust that his minions and I have spoken many times about "Not So Smart" Meters etc since. However Mikey never calls back for obvious reasons known to the
dubious dude who accuses you of being me N'esy Pas?

Tories name nominee in Albert
DEREK HAGGETT Times & Transcript
April 15, 2018
Mike Holland, owner of Resourceful Redneck, is seen with one of his
inventions during his audition for Dragons' Den in Saint John last
year. Holland won the Albert Nominating Convention on Saturday in
Hillsborough.
Disqualified PC candidate considers independent run in 2018
After losing court decision, Chris Duffie says he'll reflect on running in Carleton-York anyway
Chris Duffie was hoping that Justice Judy Clendening would order the PC party to put him on the ballot for the nomination in Carleton-York.
But Clendening ruled that the way the party notified party members of the May 19 convention, though "restrictive" in timing, did not break any rules.
Evidence filed in court "does not allow me to conclude" that the party was in the wrong, she said, dismissing Duffie's motion.
- Judge stops PC nomination after barred candidate files protest
- People's Alliance set to welcome unhappy PC party members
Considering independent run
Duffie told reporters after the hearing that he will "reflect" on whether to run in Carleton-York anyway.
"This may just be the beginning of looking at independent — of voting for a candidate, versus a party," he said.
But he also said he would ask Higgs to intervene.
Duffie said he didn't want to make a snap decision based on his emotions, and though it's "highly improbable" Higgs will step in, he planned to call the Tory leader by the end of the day.
"He may or may not give me a call back," Duffie said. "He hasn't called me back yet."
There was no immediate comment Monday afternoon from Higgs on whether he'd consider the move.
Higgs would have already signed his approval of Urquhart as a candidate for the nomination.
Missed deadline
That notice also set the clock ticking on a May 5 deadline for candidates wanting to run for the nomination to file their paperwork. Duffie said he missed that deadline because the party didn't send out proper notifications.
The convention was listed on the PC website but Duffie's lawyer, Kevin Toner, argued it was "buried" and required several clicks to find.
That got a skeptical response from the judge.
"If you were going to run, wouldn't you be reading that website backwards, forward, upside down, morning, noon & night?" she asked.
Lamrock, the party lawyer, cited several court precedents in which judges have been reluctant to interfere in internal disputes of political parties and other organizations with their own rules and mechanisms.
In fact, he said, if the party had let Duffie file his paperwork late, it would have been breaking rules approved by a vote of the membership.
"That is really the heart of it," Lamrock said.
The ruling means the PC convention can go ahead and Duffie remains disqualified.
The party hasn't set a new date for the event yet.
Challenger wins PC nomination in 'rare' upset over incumbent MLA
Mike Holland won a 'decisive' victory over Brian Keirstead to be candidate in N.B. riding of Albert
Mike Holland achieved a rare feat Saturday by capturing the Progressive Conservative nomination for the riding of Albert and ousting incumbent PC MLA Brian Keirstead.
Holland, a 47-year-old from Riverview, N.B., known for his entrepreneurial pursuits with outdoor gear, said he didn't realize how uncommon it is to upset a sitting MLA seeking re-election until after the outcome was announced at the convention in Hillsborough.
He said he'd have to check Wikipedia, but the online encyclopedia doesn't hold the answers. Records for riding by riding party nomination contests are scattershot at best. One known instance occurred 40 years ago.
Candidate Brian Keirstead and candidate Mike Holland at the Albert PC Nomination..
"Cases of these are so rare for a sitting MLA, an incumbent, to be upset in a nomination contest," said J.P. Lewis, an associate professor of political science at the University of New Brunswick Saint John.
"The drama of political parties can always be a bit of a mystery because they set their own rules and a lot of the ongoings are maybe happening between the small network of people running the political party."
Lewis said there could be many factors at play and he could only speculate as to why a respected MLA like Keirstead was defeated in a riding that's almost a lock for the PCs.
Keirstead, who was elected to his first term in 2014, said it came down a collection of individual decisions that weren't in his favour, instead of some orchestrated plot behind the scenes.
"As much as we like to we know what's going on, we've seen some extreme upsets politically on all levels of governments," he said. "It's part of the political game; it's part of the political process."
Compelled to run
After deciding to seek the nomination last fall, Holland had ample time to court Albert PC party members and raise his profile, which already comes with a tinge of celebrity. He appeared on the television show Dragon's Den to pitch his company, The Resourceful Redneck.
Holland is also known in PC circles, having worked and volunteered with the party for many years. He even served as executive assistant to PC ministers.
12:23 PM · Apr 15, 2018
His decision to run had nothing to do with anything Keirstead did or didn't do as MLA, Holland said, but rather that he felt compelled to run.
"An intersection of opportunity and preparedness had come up where I felt like it was time for me to exercise that experience and, of course, incredible desire to be involved in bringing a PC government to power here in New Brunswick," Holland said.
'Will of the people'
Both the PC party president, Rick Lafrance, and the riding association president, Karen Jackman, said nomination contests are a "democratic process" and open to challenges from party members.
"What happened there was the democratic process and the will of the people," said Lafrance, while thanking Keirstead for his work for the party.
He said there have been no other incumbents challenged and, as of Tuesday, 26 PC candidates have been acclaimed.
Jackman said the exact results of the secret ballot vote were not released, but it was a "decisive" victory for Holland.
"I think Mike Holland has a very charismatic personality," she said. "I think he worked hard in the county. He knows a lot of people and has a lot connections, and people responded very, very well to him."
It happened before
In 1978, a sitting MLA was defeated for the party nomination when John Munn beat Sterling Hambrook to be the PC candidate for Southwest Miramichi. Munn then lost to Liberal Morris Green in the provincial election.
Keirstead said at this time he's not sure what's next for him, but he will remain a PC party member and support their bid to return to power. He also remains the Albert riding MLA until the writ drops.
"Whether it's politics or business or anything else, often times life isn't without some kind of setback," he said. "You take it in stride and you look forward and you look positive on things."
