WHEN HIS KITCHEN drawer started smoking, Aino Nenonen of North Vancouver
figured something was amiss. When he opened the drawer, he found that a large box of
Strike-anywhere-type matches, had burst into flames. Nenonen, who reported the incident
to the fire department which is investigating it, says he'll be safety matches from now on.
It’s believed that the matches, which Nenonen purchased about a month ago, ignited from
rubbing against each other when the drawer was opened and closed.

Missing woman, 64,
found dead in culvert

FOUL PLAY is not
suspected in the death of a
woman whose body was
discovered in a culvert in
North Vancouver Wednesday
afternoon.

Police have identified the

woman as 64-year-old Anne
Skinner Pocklington, who
may have died of exposure
while trying to sleep in the
culvert at Westview and 29th
Street.

According to North Van-

couver RCMP, the elderly
woman had gone missing
from her residence on the
evening of Tuesday,
February 7. She was found at

A NORTH VANCOUVER
apartment dweller was rush-
ed to hospital Wednesday
suffering burns to her face
and shoulders.

The woman was burned
when she attempted to throw
a pot of cooking oil out of
her apartment after it had
caught fire.

The incident was the latest
in a string of such fire ac-
cidents in the kitchen, accor-
ding to North Vancouver Ci-
ty Fire Department.

“*It seems as though we are
getting on of these a week,’’
an official with the fire
prevention office told the
News Thursday.

The fire occured just after
6 p.m. at a second floor
apartment in the 100 block of
East 18th Street.

Overheated oil in the pot
burst into flames, which
quickly spread to nearby cup-
boards. The woman was
burned when the nearby li-
quid spread as she lifted the
pot from the stove.

Fire prevention officials
said North Shore residents

foman burned in
cooking oil blaze

&

faced with a similar situation
should not attempt to move
pots from the stove.

If it is safe to do so, say of-
ficials, turn off the heat and
cover the pot with a tight-
fitting lid. Don’t use water in
an attempt to extinguish the
fire as it will cause the burn-
ing oil to splatter.

Most important, says the
fire department, is to give
them a call. rn
