Re: B.C. Fire Investigation School

Les Schumacher, our Fire Prevention Officer, has
requested permission to attend the B.C. Fire Investigation
School which is being held at Parksville from September 22nd
to 26th, 1980. The school is designed to teach the investi-
gation and suppression of arson and as this is directly
related to the work which Les is required to do, it would be

quite useful for him to attend. The course fee is $50.00
plus $44.00 per day for accommodation and food at the live-in
school.

In considering this application Council should be
aware that Les has attended the B.C. Fire Prevention Officers'
Convention as well .as an Arson Investigation Association
Seminax this year. Nevertheless, I feel that this course
would be useful to Les and it does tie in with courses he
has been taking on his own. .
