Woman injured in fire

By lan Noble

News Reporter

A sprinkler system kept damages
down by snuffing out a mattress fire
in a highrise home for the elderly
New Year’s Eve. '

The fire, at the Kiwanis tower at 170 West
2nd, is one ‘of two recent fires still under inves-
‘tigation.

North Vancouver Fire and Rescue
Lieutenant. Dave Merrill said the fire depart-
ment is still trying to piece together what hap-
pened at the Kiwanis tower, but said smoker’s
materials such as a lighter, matches or a ciga-
rette appear to have caused the blaze. .

A woman who was in the room where the
fire started is in hospital with first degree burns
and minor smoke inhalation. A fire investigator
visited the elderly woman in hospital, but
Menill said the woman is difficult to under-
stand.

Merril said the sprinkler system limited

Tavconmoniy

damage from the sixth-storey afternoon fire to

a wall and the mattress. But water damage
from the sprinkler system affected the first six
fleors of the 12-storey building, he said.

“No one dies from sprinkler water dam-
age,” said Merrill. “Elderly people die often
from smoke inhalation.”

The day before the Dec. 31 fire and a block
to the west, a suspicious two-car fire caused
approximately $30,000 to $35,000 damage at
a 12-suite strata complex.

When the fire department arrived at the site
of the 11:30 re, a Ford Taurus wagon
and a Jeep pic a ‘were in flames, said Merrill.

Smoke from the fire climbed out of the
entrance to the underground parking lor, up
the walls and into some suites, causing smoke
damage.

Merrill said car fires are ugly because of the
plastics and polyurethane used in cars.

“When it gets going, it’s thick, black and
really smells bad,” ” Be said.

The RCMP are investigating the fire, which
Merrill called suspicious in origin.
