Big Sandy Fire Lookout

History

During the late 1960s (from about 1966 (?) until his death in 1976 Albert Sager was towerman at Big Sandy Tower. He was raised in the Moose Run (Torch River area) District and lived in various places until he bought a house in Love, Sk. where he lived until his death. He spent his winters trapping an area along the Mossy River which extended from just north of the Missipuskiow River north of the Grassy Lake tower sites (there were 4) to the southeast of Big Sandy Lake. This trapline was purchased by Alvin Tatlow after Albert’s death.
