Al4 Terrace Review — Wednesday, January 31, 1990 Firefighte (= — rainie ka PUBLIC MEETING training center eyed ‘ It has been many months since the Terrace Fire Department sent a proposal to city council for a firefighter training facility, but the idea is now receiving some attention. City council has asked administration to review possible sites within the city for a regional training facility and to : ; forward a list to the Finance Committee for further study. As proposed, the training _ center is expected to cost about $200,000, but it would also be used by communities other than Terrace. That, it’s said, would not only. help reduce’ the initial cost to local taxpayers but pro- vide some economic benefits to the city as well. Training. for Terrace and Thornhill fire- fighters is currently done in a _ glassroom environment or, when available, by burning derelict buildings and putting theory in- to practice. According to a year end report, in 1989 Terrace fire- _ fighters responded to 118 fires “qnvolving property values at a total of. over $1. million. Esti- mated property loss, however, - was only about $213,100. There --were no deaths and only two in- juries reported. The largest “single loss last year was esti- _. mated at $72,000. In this ‘in- stance a grass fire escaped and ‘destroyed a private home on i Kenney St. The. second. largest _ @ccurred at a home in the 4700 ’ plock Soucie when a gas-fired heater exploded in a greenhouse attached to a private residence. — This fire resulted in a loss of about $35,000. The four main causes of fire in 1988 and 1989 ~ were arson, ‘heating equipment, ‘smoking and cooking. . But Terrace firefighters were called on to perform many other duties in 1989 as well. Among. these duties were 273 building inspections, 13- incidents of medical assistance, four rescue calls, 33 fire hall tours, nine fire extinguisher lectures and demonstrations, and 14 fire safety lectures. Propane controlled | TERRACE — There will be no new propane filling stations built in the downtown core. Under a bylaw amendment to be approved by city council at their next meeting, existing fill- ing stations will be in violation of the city’s Fire Prevention Bylaw but will be permitted to remain where they are provided they don’t add to or alter their existing facility. In addition to this change, the city is reviewing all permit and inspection fees charged to propane filling stations to bring them more in line with actual . 7 administrative costs. According _- to alderman Danny Sheridan, _~ present inspection fees cost on- dy $10 but require as many as -.. | .Ahrée visits of up to one hour -./. @geh-to complete.
