IN-BARGE FIRE _
A Northland Navigation barge was damaged and two

45 foot trailers, one containing groceries and one loaded
with liquor, were total losses following a fire on the

weekend.

Originally discovered four miles south of Alert Bay,
the fire was thought to have been extinguished there. But
smouldering charcoal briqueis flared up again two hours
out of Kitimat and a Northland tug was dispatched from
Kitimat to assist the barge crew.

By the time the barge was docked at Kitimat, the fire
was under control; services of the district’s fire

department were not requifed,
loss was given.
