OF THE FIRE
SAFETY HOUSE
PROGRAM

Take part in
province-wide
fire drill

MANY PEOPLE think it will never happen
to them. But the figures show otherwise:
last year, 7,280 fires in B.C. caused 58
deaths and 387 injuries.

According to North Vancouver City Fire

Department Insp. Gavin Soanes, no house-
hold can afford to be without a fire escape
plan. As chairman of the 1990 Plan to Get
Out Alive program, he is encouraging all
North Shore residents to take part in the
B.C.-wide fire drill on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 7
p.m.
At that time, all local TV and radio sta-
tions will sound a 30-second fire alarm, giv-
ing families and individuals the opportunity
to practise their home’s fire escape plan.

Children throughout the North Shore
school system were given a Plan to Get Out
Alive worksheet, reprinted on the back page
of this newspaper feature.

“Lots of people talk about a plan, but
they never practise it,’’ said Soanes, noting
that although a healthy 80 per cent of the
local population were aware of the fire drill
program last year, only 15 per cent took
part in the activity.

*\When the smoke alarm goes olf, you
don’t want to be panicking and wondering
what to do,’”’ he warned.

That is, of course, assuming you’ve had
the foresight to buy a smoke alarm.

At only $10 and up, it may be the best
investment of your life, says Soanes, and its
care and feeding is simple: just supply it
with a 9-volt battery once every year.

Families with bedrooms on upper floors
may also wish to purchase one or two col-
lapsible fire escape ladders, which start at
approximately $50 in department and
hardware stores. They are made of either
chain link or poly rope with wooden steps
and are kept secured to the wall, bundled in
a velcro-closure bag.

All three local fire departments will be in
elementary schools next week demonstrating
fire safety and firefighting techniques
through skits, games and truck demonstra-
