Police recover
stolen equipment

WEST VANCOUVER Police recovered stolen ski equipment test
week after responding to a reported theft of skis at Cypress Bowl.

pairs of skis. One of the ski sets fit the description of skis stolen on

LOCAL POLICE and police departments throughout the province
are expecting to check up to 400,000 vehicles during this year’s
Christmas CounterAttack campaign. The roadcheck blitz runs until
Jan, 3.

Said Labor and Consumer Services Minister Lyall Hanson: ‘‘In-
dividuals, communities, private businesses and Crown corporations
are.all helping to reduce the tragedies caused by drinking-driving
over the holiday period by giving their strong support to the cam-
paign. :

“For example, groups such as ICBC, BC Transit, 7-Eleven
stores, the Lower Mainland Taxi Association, White Spot resiau-
rants and the Cazadian Armed Forces have joined with the police
to-help publicize this CounterAttack blitz. In addition, liquor
stores, physicians, government agents, Autoplan agents and hun-
dreds of others will be displaying CounterAttack materials.”’

Tenants escape
apartment fire

A NORTH Vancouver City Fire Department spokesperson said the
occupants of a North Vancouver apartment, which was the scene
of a chesterfield fire earlier this month, were extremely lucky to
escape the fire without injury.

Firefighters responded to the apartment fire at 329 West 4th St.
at 4:21 a.m. on Dec. 2.

A man had fallen asleep while smoking a cigarette on a chester-
field. His mother awoke to the smell of smoke and activated a fire
alarm in a hallway outside of the apartment. She could not wake
up her sleeping son because the smoke in the room he was in was
too thick.

The fire department was alerted and a tenant of the building
managed to wake up the steeping man and evacuate the apartment.

The suite was not equipped with smoke alarms. The fire
department recommends that smoke alarms should be installed in
every sleeping area of 2 dwelling as well as in corridors outside of
sleeping areas.

Fire damage was confined to the chesterfield. The apartment
sustained smoke damage.
