Besides a number of false alarms, firefighters were called Gut to one house fire, two elec-. || trical faults, one natural gas _ leak, and two. medical emer- | ‘gencies. ‘Due to fast action and a working smoke alarm, though, ‘the most serious damage. to _ Teport is a burned power: pole and a hole burned in the floor of ‘a Terrace residence. —— At 5:49. am. Jan. 7, fire- fighters were called out to a | private residence in the 4600 .. -block Scott Ave. According to - fire chief Bob Beckett ashes that _ were believed to be "cold" had been removed from a wood — stove earlier and stored in a > cardboard box beside the stove. ‘There was a hot ember, though, that burned an eight inch hole through the bottom’ of the box and the living room floor. A - working smoke alarm gave carly: warning. There was light smoke damage. On Jan. 8, firefighters were called to the scene of a burning . hydro pole at Graham and Pear ‘at about 4:45 p.m. The fire, which was the result of an elec-. trical short caused by a cracked insulator, burned a seven-inch hole half way through the pole. There was a brief electrical hydro. workers replaced the pole. ‘nature. of — his “The ‘U.S. Bureau “of Mines report, summarized in the Dec. 30, 1991.

Taylor explained to the Ter- racé Review that the U.S. Bureau of Mines had probably based their negative conclusion on a proposal by Mitsubishi of Japan to build a smelter in Texas that has run into permit- ting problems. Texas, he notes, isa different jurisdiction. PRM has been in close contact. with the provincial. government in evolving the smelter proposal, Taylor says.
