SEARCH CREW
SEEKS SPACE |

The city’s Planning and Public
Works Committee will consider a
request next week for a more
suitable headquarters building for

‘the Terrace Search and Rescue
Society. The society is currently

housed in a city-owned trailer .

located behind city hall, and in a
letter to city council society presi-

dent Gord Sweeting says it is no

longer adequate to meet their
needs. In addition, he says, there
- is no plumbing.

A quick tour through the
Terrace Search and Rescue head-
quarters shows that the problem
is obvious. Through -the main
entrance of what used to be the
building inspector’s office is a
small storage area. To the left is
‘a combination meeting, communi-
cations and debriefing room with
seating for about eight. To the
right is the only real storage
space available for rescue equip-
ment.

And that’s it. Tour’ S over...

almost. The inventory of rescue

equipment is sparse; much of it is
secured underneath the trailer.
Access to that equipment is a
problem. Besides the obvious
problem of getting into such a
space in the winter, in the sum-

mer it’s nearly impossible as well. .
When the city paved their.

parking lot, they built the surface
of the lot up to a level higher
than the bottom of the access

door, and now it can’t be opened.

An alternate entrance point has
been found, however, and the
equipment is available for use.

The meeting-communications- -
debriefing room offers problems of. _
its own, With a potential for 20 to

30 volunteers at one meeting,
there is not enough standing
room,
there’s no washroom.

Besides impromptu emergency

meetings, the society holds an

_average of one meeting or train-

ing session a week, and often it’s
necessary to scramble for space.
Like the firehall training room,
for example. That space, though,
says Sweeting, is well used and
not easy to obtain... Particularly
at a moment's notice.
