FALSE ALARM
An overzealous housecleaner
tripped a smoke detector in a
house in the 7800-block West
Saanich Road last week.
“Fumes from an’ ammonia-
based cleaner triggered the
alarm,”’’ said Art Curry, Central

Saanich deputy fire chief.
“Smoke detectors should be
_ vacuumed once a year,’” he add-
ed. Dust can build up, reducing

- effectiveness of the alarms.

KEEN-EYED COMMUTER
- Someone riding a B.C. Tran-
sit bus spotted a chimney firé on
. the east side of Verdier Ave. in
Brentwood Bay just before mid-
night Feb. 9.

By the time firefighters arriv-
ed on the scene, the fire was no
longer visible. It appeared to
burn itself out, said Art Curry; —

’ chief.
