Like other builders, they will have to wait several more months to find out exactly how new building regulations will affect their business. Homeowner bite delayed for now HOMEOWNERS how they’l be affected by construction industry. the fall-out of the leaky con- do debate, The province passed legis- lation last, Wednesday op- ting to leave many of the de- cisions around new building regulations up to the industry-financed Homeowner Protection Of- fice, which opens Oct. 1. Phasing in of the new regulations will start on Jan. 1 of next year but the minis- try says many of the regula- tions will initially apply only in the lower mainland, where problems have been the worst. Eric . Kaye, of. the municipal affairs ministry, says the Homeowuer office will decide how to phase in regulations to other regions Kaye adds the province decided against imposing a $1,000 levy on lower main- land developers to support a zero-interest loan program for people to repair their leaky condos, But he says the new office will decide on a new plan to recover that money from de- velopers. A new statutory home warranty on all new residen- tial buildings will still affect all of B.C. Calls for government and industry assistance to assist AND ly growing areas to pay builders will have to wait money to help buy land for longer to find out exactly ‘ schools, has upset the home GMC SAFARI VAN Why it got lost A MAP READING error not only sent an ambulance in the wrong dircction when it was dispatched to help a chok- ing baby but an agreement between the B.C. Ambulance Service and the fire department was also broken. Provincial ambulance official Bob “Pearce said a Kamloops-based dispatcher ordered the ambulance crew, in town from Smithers to deliver a patient to Mills Memorial Hospital, to help the baby because it was im- mediately available, The dispatcher felt sending the Smithers-based am- bulance to newly-born Jade Tsares on Olson in the Horse- shee would be faster than calling the fire department’s First Responder vehicle, said Pearce. By not calling the fire department, the dispatcher broke an agreement between the ambulance service and the fire department to immediately alert the fire department of all life-threatening calls, “The dispatcher believed the ambulance was well on its way to the call and would arrive at the location far in ad- vance of the fire department,” said Pearce. He added that local ambulance crews were on duty but were on other calls and farther away than the Smithers unit. But the dispatcher was working from a map of Terrace which had both Mills Memorial Hospital and the two high schools marked with the letter ‘H,’ And that caused the ambulance crew, which was unfamiliar with local streets, to be sent south of the hospital instead of north into the Horseshoe, The ambulance got lost and had to call for new directions, Firefighters were monitoring communications between the lost ambulance and the dispatcher but were turned * down when they offered to go to the Tsares home. But realizing the ambulance was lost, firefighters de- cided to go to anyway. Baby Jade was already recovering on artival, though it would be six minutes before the Smithers ambulance got there. Local fire chief Randy Smith said firefi ghters | on duty acted out of concem for the baby and recognized that the | fire department should have been asked to respond. Smith summed up the incident as an clement of human error and that usually local ambulance and fire department ” . Units work together well, He said the incident was “fairly rare’? and that it wouldn’t have happened if there had been a Terrace am- ’ bulance available. ‘“We generally have local care here, and everyone knows that,’’ said Smith.
