At approximately 3:45 a.m., a woman living at a home in the 3000-biock Hoskins Road was awakened by the sound of her smoke alarm. She smelled smoke and went to the kitchen where she saw smoke and flames coming from an area near her refrigerator. She alerted her daughter, who called the fire department via the emergency 9-1-1 number. A fire department crew arrived and extinguished the fire. The fridge, floor and cabinets received minor fire damage. An electrical fault is suspected as the cause of the fire, but further investigation is being carried out. Said chief fire prevention officer Leo Tus, **Had it not been Sor the smoke alarm alerting the occupants, serious injuries and or possible death may have occurred. In addition, as a result of the early warning, damage was minimal. I cannot stress enough the importance of having an approved Underwriters Laboratories of Canada smoke alarm installed. We know through experience that they do save lives.** NV firms get federal funds TWO NORTH Vancouver companies will receive funding from the federal Western Diversification Fund.

Watson declined to give details of the union’s wage demand. “We're moving slowly,’? she said. ‘*The major issues will be class size. The (education) ministry has changed the financing system and that has made things difficult for both sides.”’ Watson, a former elementary school teacher in North Van- couver, took over the NVTA presidency in July. Her term of office will expire next June. Despite the breakdown in con- tract talks, Watson said she is op- timistic the two sides will reach a deal soon. “It’s very busy.

It just came out of the blue.” Golf lease to be signed Oct. 1 But Marshall Mcleod com- plimented council on the manner in which they have proceeded with the golf course. “People should take note of what council has done on the West Vancouver waterfront and use that as an example,"" he said.
