Bindloss area residents frustrated with lack of fire compensation
BINDLOSS, AB – It was one year ago on Tuesday that a gusting wind carried flames from CFB Suffield towards farms and ranches near the community of Bindloss.
The images of fire sweeping across fields are etched in the memories of ranchers Alan and Laurel Schlaht, who live just south of the hamlet.
On September 11, 2017, a military ordinance exploded on the base which sparked the massive blaze and took a major toll on the Schlahts’ land.
