Damages undetermined because the Body Shop fire was not covered by insurance
and the building was up for demolition. There was however some loss due to
damaged tools and equipment. The loss in the car fires was slight.

We had seven garbage container fires and one inhalator call in the early hours
of the morning when the Coquitlam Fire Department was on strike. All these
calls came in in a short space of time which caused us much concern. A man
was picked up by the R.C.M.P. and charged with two accounts of setting these
fires. He has not appeared in court as yet. These garbage container fires had
no connection with the striking firemen.

37 Inhalator calls. 20 Homa Emergencies consisting of heart attacks, asthmatic
attacks, breathing problems, nose bleeds and a number of people who had been
injured from falls. Attended two cases of people found unconscious from over-
drinking. Attended 8 motor vehicle accidents, 2 industrial accidents and a boy
who had fallen from playground equipment.
