Nurses praised
for stopping blaze

TWO LIONS Gate Hospital staffers are to be commended after
their quick action Tuesday morning in extinguishing a blaze,
preventing what could have become a serious fire.

Maternity ward head nurse Rosemarie Tindale and RN Edna
Borden sounded the alarm and extinguished the small blaze after
an are welder cutting through the ceiling from the floor above
sparked cardboard and fibreglass insulation.

From the fire above the nurses’ station, the third-floor maternity
ward filled with smoke, and one concerned new mother took her
baby to another part of the hospital to escape potential trouble,
said North Vancouver City Fire Department Insp. Gavin Soanes.

“It could have caused quite a bit of panic,’’ Soanes said of the
fire, adding that the hospital staff’s emergency fire training paid
off with fast and effective action.

“If it (the fire) had fallen down it could have got the nurses’ sta-
tion going.”’

C Rail line
reopened

BC RAIL’S mainline between North Vancouver and Squamish was
reopened Thursday morning to both freight and passenger train
traffic after five derailed cars and a caboose were cleared from the
fine near Britannia Beach.

The cars, part of a southbound freight train, derailed just after !
p.m. Wednesday.

BC Rail spokesman Barrie Wall said a conductor and a rear-end
trainman who were ia the caboose, which overturned in the
derailment, were shaken up but uninjured.

Of the other five cars derailed, three were carrying lumber and
two were carrying wood chips.

A passenger (rain and the sepgular Royal Hudson run were ter-
minated at Squamish Wednesday and passengers bused to North
Vancouver.

The two trains were returned to North Vancouver early Thursday
morning.

Wall said the derailment’s cause was still being investigated.

ALTHOUGH the Lower Mainland
is located in an earthquake zone,
most residents would probably be
unprepared if an earthquake oc-
curred.

The Greater Vancouver Regional
District is setting up a task force
on earthquake preparedness in the
Lower Mainland with repre-
sentation from federal, provincial
and local governments.

The role of the task force will be
to prepare a long-range plan for
earthquake preparedness within
the GVRD, which includes 16
municipalities and three clectorial
areas.

This year, the group will work at
assessing areas in the Lower
Mainland that are at the highest
risk. On the North Shore, these

would include bridges, major
highways, as well as the Cleveland
and Seymour Falls Dams, accor-
ding to Bud Elsie of the GVRD.

Much of Richmond would be at
risk, because of the boggy soil,
which could liquify during an ear-
thquake, said Elsie.

The GVRD_ has commiited
$100,000 to this kind of assess-
ment, with additional funding to
be sought from federal and pro-
vincial governments and other
jurisdictions participating in the
study.

For assistance, working groups
will be established, involving fire
chiefs, police chiefs and repre-
sentatives from ambulance ser-
vices, utilities, hospitals, schools
and engineering organizations.
