‘attended the meeting with
District council members,
said no firm agreement has
been reached to share

facilities with West Van-
couver. But, he said, if this
were the case,
increase traffic.

it would

The St.Dennis Avenue site
was chosen as the land is
publicly owned, making it
cheaper than buying private
land and because of its
proximity to other fire
stations, said the Director of
Development, Richard
Plunkett.

It's a good site for
firehose training because
large amounts of water are
discharged and it can go
directly into Lynn Creek,
said Plunkett.

Resident Pat Neufeld
blasted District Council for
the choice of location.

“They talked about noise
levels and they say it’s ac-
ceptable, but if they com-
bined that noise level with
the noise level of garbage
trucks and the cars going up
to Cap College—there’s just
going to be too much noise,”
she said.

“It is not acceptable .”

Fire chief Bob MacDonald
explained that noise levels as

recorded at Lynnmour
School, just south of the
proposed site, met the

requirements of
noise bylaw.

Jim Fraser, realtor and
aldermanic candidate, said
the training centre should be
located in the industrial core
“where firemen can make all
the noise they want.”

Mayor Bell said such a
location would undermine
the municipal tax base as
commercial and industrial
revenues exceed residential.

The new facility will cost
between $400,000 and
$700,000 depending upon a
council decision to include a
recreational building for the
firemen.

The centre will also in-
clude classrooms. for
seminars and workshops, as
well as a foam pit to dispose
of chemicals used _ to
simulate emergency
situations. Fire Chief
MacDonald said the foam is
bio-degradable, and “like
Joy Detergent.” The foam
will be contained in a ditch
and released in a sewer, not
storm .drains that run
directly into Lynn Creek,
said MacDonald.

In addition, an eight-foot
high fence will surround the
site to prevent children from
piaying there.

One resident suggested
putting the training centre
beside the Hooker Chemical
plant, but Mayor Bell
dismissed the idea, saying
such a location didn’t meet
all the necessary
requirements.

resident Frank
Kennedy supported

children might find wat-
ching firemen in training

Because of his support for
the centre, Kennedy said, “I
might have made a hell of a
lot of enemies here tonight.”

He said opposition to any
plans to develop the area
would continue until an
