. The Bavarian Inn was extensive-
ly damaged by fire Monday night
and as of press time yesterday it
was unclear if the main structure
of the building could be saved or
not.

According: to assistant fire chief
Per Halvorsen, the fire began in
the roof of the building and was
first noticed at about 5 p.m.

- Halvorsen says the Terrace Fire

‘-. Department responded at 5:10 p.m.

with two pumper trucks, joined a
short time Jater by the Thornhill
aerial truck, The aerial truck has
the capability of spraying water
down onto a buming roof.

The fire took hold rapidly, how-
ever, says Halvorsen, and although
the walls and floors appear to have
been saved, the roof and ceiling
were destroyed.

Halvorsen says the extent of the
damage and its cause may take
some time to determine. He
explains that due to the instability
of portions of what was once the
roof and ceiling of the building,

the structure has been declared
unsafe for occupancy and an inves-
tigation has been delayed until a
crane can scoop debris from the
second floor of the building.

_ A tew evening diners were in the
Bavarian Inn when the fire was
first noticed, but. there was no

panic or injuries. In fact,even after :

guests were told to leave the build-
ing there was no real evidence of
a fire to cause any panic. One of
those guests was Walter Elkiw,
and he says there was only a hint
of smoke; similar to a fireplace
with a partly closed damper. "We
thought it was the fireplace,” says
Elkiw. He says that once they left
the building, though, billowing
smoke seen from the outside was
evidence of a serious fire. Flames

broke through the roof shortly
atter.

search under way

TERRACE — The intensive search for a Piper Navajo aircraft that
: vanished on a flight from Bronson Creek to Terrace has entered its
: fourth week. Searchers are looking for any sign of the aircraft carrying
iE focal pilot Max Neubacher and his passengers Karen Hawkins and her

; children, Leanne and Aaron.

3 Although search commanders are reluctant fo indicate at what point

F the search will be called off, seatch master Capt. Brad White said Nov.

TE 9, "With the accumulation of snow in the search area, it is becoming

My less and less likely we will find them."
1 White said Friday that it should take another two days to cover the
10,000-square mile area in detail, but weather gtounded the search for
ly most of the weekend. Yesterday Second Lieutenant Bailey said that
‘ although weather was good in Terrace there was a considerable amount
a: of cloud obscuring the valley areas where the search is concentrating,
q The weather has been a continual obstruction to the search effort.
"Weather has been a factor every day but one," White said. "We were
weathered out of the areas we wanted to search at least 50 percent of
the time."

On Friday one of the three Buffalo aircraft from the 442nd Search and
, Rescue Squadron assigned to the search was sent northward to help in
qi the search for a helicopter that disappeared | near Fort Nelson the
previous day.

The Terrace and Thornhill fire departments threw everything they had at a fire that
threatened to completely destroy the Bavarian Inn Monday night. After more than four hours
the blaze was extinguished, but the roof of the structure where the fire began had falien in
and the dining room was gutted.
