FIRE REPORT -

Smoke alarms in good working

’ order do save lives. Three resi-

dents who recently moved into a
home at 4630 Scott Ave. woke
up to the high pitched whistle of
a smoke alarm shortly before 2
a.m. last Friday morning. Com-
menting on that early warning,
one of the residents said,"We
didn’t have much more time."
Terrace firefighters agree. The
home was filled with heavy
black smoke when they arrived
and the fire, which was confined
to the main-floor laundry room,
was generating considerable
heat. So much heat, in fact, that
exterior steel doors in the laun-
dry room fell apart in firemen’s

hands as they tried to open

them.

The fire was extinguished just
as it was about to take hold on
the main structure, but there was
still considerable smoke and heat
damage to the interior of the
home. The owner of the house
Says it will be several months
before they can move back in,
but adds they are all thankful for
the alarm that probably saved
their lives. The cause of the fire
is still under investigation.

There is one other chapter to
this story. A younger resident of
the home moved here recently
from Alberta. On his way out of

the smouldering home that night,
he tried to phone the fire depart-
ment.

For him, the phone number
was unquestionably 9-1-1. But
instead of help, he was con-
nected to a tape recording that
informed him that the 9-1-1
emetgency number is not in
service here. Frustrated and
somewhat angry with the loss of
valuable time, he then dialled
the operator who advised him to
leave the home immediately and

Awareness on the job, or for that
matter any home or work oriented
activity, is a must. There are few
true accidents. Most injuries are
the result of someone’s mistake.

This may be the lesson to be
learned by others from an indus-
trial accident at the Thornhill Nur-
sery about 11:30 am. Monday
when a worker received a serious
cut to the hand while working near
a piece of equipment.

_ The victim also went into shock
following the accident, but the on-
site Class ’A’ first aid attendant
knew exactly what to do. All

The only other fire reported by
the Terrace fire department
occurred at Mills Memorial
Hospital at about 1:30 p.m. last
Wednesday. This fire too was
first detected by a smoke alarm
but firefighters found more
smoke than fire. An elevator
motor had overheated filling an
adjacent operating room with
smoke. Smoke ejectors were
used to clear the air.

necessary first aid procedures had
been carried out prior to the arrival
of emergency personnel.

Terrace paramedics were busy
Monday morning when the Code 3
emergency call came in, and
-BCAS dispatch took advantage of
the First Responder status of the
Terrace Fire Department.

Firefighters say the situation was
well under contro! by the time they
atrived and there was little for
them to do, An ambulance arrived
a short time later and transported
the victim to hospital, where the
wound was closed with five
stitches. The Workers’ Compensa-
tion Board is investigating the
incident.

Terrace B.C, Ambulance Ser-
vice (BCAS) activity report —
Monday, Nov. 25 to Sunday, Dec.
1, The week’s tally of 24 ambu-
lance responses included eight
local, inter-city and medevac trans-
fers in and out of Mills Memorial
Hospital, and 11 medicai emerg-
encies such as shortness of breath

people to hospital due to trauma
caused by two separate incidents
such as accidents, violence or
Substance abuse. In addition, there

BCAS medical tip — A fracture
can only be diagnosed by a doctor
and x-rays. If you are attending an
accident victim whom you suspect
may be suffering a bone fracture,
avoid all unnecessary movement to
reduce the possibility of further
aggravating the injury. Instead,
phone the B.C. Ambulance Service
emergency number, 638-1102, and
while you wait for the ambulance
to arrive, keep the victim warm
and reassured to help prevent
shock. Any bleeding should be
controlled with direct pressure
using a clean cloth, or if necessary,
your hand.
