Lightning causes fires

ouwt® 1986 fire season officially ended on Oct. 15,
1986.

There were a total of 84 fires in the Kalum Forest
District this fire season. The number of fires this year
was considerably higher than the 10 year average of
55 fires, ;

This increase in fire numbers is primarily due to
the lightning storms that passed through the district
in the latter part of June, July and August, causing
27 fires. Also attributing to the increase in fire
numbers was the abnormally dry and windy
September,

Although the number of fires was high this year,
most fires were contained and extinguished while still
at a very small size. The total estimated area burned

-by wild fire in the district is 180 hectares. The largest

fire in the district this year was the Ron Fire which
burned an estimated 120 hectares.

Dry, windy weather during the month of
September hampered the District Prescribed Burning
Program. However, 1500 hectares of prescribed
burning was successfully completed by the Forest
Service and local Forest Licencees.

Lightning was the single largest cause of fires in the
district, resulting in 27 fires. The other 57 fires were
man caused; of these 57 fires, 14 were caused by
recreationists, 18 by industrial operators and 25 by
‘miscellaneous known or unknown causes.

Crime Prevention Week —
proclaimed in Terrace

TERRACE — Mayor

Jack Talstra has pro-

claimed Nov. 2 - 8 as
Crime Prevention Week
in Terrace.

The event is designed
to create public
awareness for communi-
ty involvement in crime
prevention,

During this time
“Canadians for Crime
Prevention’’, a group of
concerned people, will be

advocating the effects of
crime upon the lives and
property of their com-
munity.

The problems of crime
touch and affect all seg-
ments of society. The
police alone cannot con-
trol crime, therefore the
essence of crime preven-
tion lies in the active par-
ticipation of members in
each community,
