have 20 seconds to ‘bunker out’ and be

fakes them 105 seconds to reach the farthest
end of the runway and they must achieve
their objective in another 90 secands.

The first truck at the scene of a crash has
a fire officer and a fire fighter and contains
1000 Ibs. of dry chemical which is released
onto the plane In 28 seconds, Wright said.

The chemicals keeps the plane cooled
down until the foarn truck arrives. This
truck lays down a foam blanket on the plane
and firemen build a rescue area which is
maintained until all passengers are
rescued.

Terrace alrport has never witnessed a
major crash but because of the importance
of the job the firemen go through four hours
of theory training each day, seven days a
week. They overhaul and do maintenance
work on all pieces of equipment at the fire
hall. Each of the eight man team must use
100 gallons of foam and put out 2000 gallons
of contaminated fuels during practices each
year, They are responsible for plane crash
fires within a five mile radius of the airport.

The leading cause of structural fires in
Terrace and Thornhil! are cigarettes and
improperly cleaned stoves and chimneys,
according to Best and Piper.

Best said of the fatal home fires in
Terrace last year that 39 percent were in
living rooms, 28 percent were in bedrooms
and 14 percent were in kitchens. He said
that 29 percent of fires were started In
furniture, 18 percent were started in bed-
ding and 14 percent were started with
combustible tiquids while 40 percent of fires
were caused by cigarettes, 26 percent were
caused by heating appliances and 14 per-

be stored in proper fuel containers and not

gasoline vapourizing under normal con-

dynamite.

Wolfe, a B.C, Hydro director.

“This is far from being
given any serious con-
sideration by Hydrv.”
