ry spell
creates hazard

NORTH VANCOUVER District firefighters battled a hast of small
bush fires over the past few days as the fire hazard condition was
listed as extreme Monday.

istrict fire department Capt. Bert Batt said Tuesday firefighters
put out five small fires in wooded or treed areas in the district
from Aug. 27 to 30. Firefighters also reported and attended to two
illegal bonfires in parks.

The entire district is observing a partial closure of parks und
wooded areas, meaning severe restrictions on smoking, fires and
matches in the tree areas.

If residents spot smouldering brush or a fire, officials suggest
they try to put it out if possible. ‘If it's small enough, contain it,”
said Batt.

Otherwise, residents should call the fire department immediately
fo prevent the fice from spreading, ‘*The important thing is to pet
help,"’ he added.

B.C. Forest Service duty officer Dave Naud said Tuesday the fire
hazard rating was raised to extreme Monday following a lengthy
spell of hot weather.

“That means all logging operations are on early shift,’” he add-
ed. “They have to be all finished and then on their way out of the
bush by f p.m."" .

The added hot weather is expected to continue at least until the
weekend.
