much deadlier.

“The whole creek would have
been sterilized right down to the
mouth of the Burrard Inlet,” Barnes
said.

He added that if the district is
charged and convicted of the
alleged chlorine spill, it faces a
maximum $1 million fine.

Penalties for polluting water-
ways usually range from $1,000 to
$30,000, he said.

North Vancouver District envi-
ronmental protection officer Mel
Kotyk said he’s waiting “with a
certain amount of anticipation” for
word on charges,

But he said the district shouldn’t
have to take the blame for a pump
failure because it did everything
“humanly possible” to prevent such
a spill.

So far, he said no one has a
solution to this kind of malfunction.

“We've got backups in place, an
ongoing monitoring program,
inspections. Equipment failure hap-

accessories, according to a West
Vancouver Police spokesman.

The suspect was filmed at 2:20
p-m.

Anyone with information
regarding this incident is asked to
call Det. Les Fox at the West
Vancouver Police, 922-141, or
Crime Stoppers at 669-8577.

pens. We’ve even asked the
Ministry of the Environment for
their suggestions. They haven't
come up with anything. If there was
something, we would do it.”

Aside from unforeseen spills,
Barnes said many preventable spills
result from public carelessness.

“We're having fish killed all the
time. People flushing their switn-
ming pools and hot tubs ... into
perimeter storm drains,” Barnes
said. “Even something like washing
your car, the detergent used ends up
in some of our creeks in the area. I
don’t know how anything sur-
vives.”

Virtually all storn drains on the
North Shore run directly into area
creeks.

Barnes recommended using san-
itury sewers such as toilet or sinks
as places to dump dirty wash water
or paint brush cleaner.

Car-wash water can be dumped
on the lawn where it will break
down and dilute before entering the
water supply, he said.

W. Van Fire
Department
buys another
defibrillaton

THE WEST Vancouver Fire
Department (WVFD) fas pur-
chased a fourth automatic external
defibrillator with funds donated by
the Kiwanis Club of Capilano.

The $6,000 machine is used in
cases of cardiac astest (a deliver an
electric shack tu the viction’s heart.

West Vancouver is one of the
ficst fire departments in B.C. to
have defibrillator units in opera-
dion.

With its four locations in the
municipality, the WVFD says it
can respond to emergencies in less
than four minutes.

According to 1993 WVFD sta-
tistics, of 1,326 medical calls the
fire department responded to, 364
were heart related. The average
response time of the fire depart-
ment was roughly three minutes
faster than the B.C. Ambulance
Service.

Although defibrillation was
once a skill reserved for those
trained in advanced cardiac life
support, the new defibrillators can
be used safely by others.

Tim Jones of the B.C.
Ambulance Service calls the use of
defibrillators by the fire department
“a good step.” According to Jones,
the use of defibrillators by non-
medical personnel is likely to
becorme more common.
