» Grass fire doused

SMOKE CLOUDS obscured the area around Mills Memorial Hospital May
1 as a grass fire took hold in the wooded area adjacent to the hospital.
Firefighters from Terrace and Thornhill were joined by forest service work-
ers, It was the second such fire of the day — a grass fire also flared up on
private property on Graham Ave., a product of high winds stemming from
an earlier attempt to burn debris. Gause of the Mills fire is unknown, say
firefighters. PHOTO COURTESY OF DETLEF BROERMANN

RCMP, rescue crew
and ambulance service

A TELKWA MAN may not be allowed
within Terrace city limits anymore after a
drunken episode which police say wasted
precious resources April 12.

The man is expected to be charged
with resisting arrest and breach of proba-
tion, and police have requested a condi-
tion be imposed preventing him from
being in Terrace again unless he is to ap-
pear in court.

‘Corporal Scott Lovell of the Terrace
RCMP said more than 15 emergency re-
sponders including water search and res-
cue, ambulance attendants and fire fight-
ers were trying to deal with the troubled
man,

“It was a real waste of resources,”
Lovell said.

- Police received a report of a drunken
man repealedly. plunging. himself into the

~ “The 32 year. old man - who cannot be
named until charges are approved by
crown counsel — had apparently hiteh-
hiked from Telkwa to Terrace to do some
fishing.

When he arrived at the memorial park
just west of Terrace he began acting very
Strangely, police said.

“He was more than three sheets to the
wind,” Lovell said.

. The man continually resisted all at-
tempts to help him, Lovell added.

“We had to put him in a river boat and
fight him ali the way back to the hospi-

. “There was a fear they wouldn’t get
him up to the highway safely without a
struggle,” said search and rescue member
Dave Jephson of the choice to use the
boat.

But Jephson said he was also con-
cerned about the safety of the rescue
crew if the man persisted in struggling.

The man was restrained and watched
by a search and rescue member who is
also an RCMP member, Jephson said.

The incident took place in the midst of
what Cpl, Lovell referred to as one of the
busiest nights he’s dealt with since he ar-

other alcchol-related incidents took place,
