Extinguishers prove worth

By lan Noble

News Reporter

A fire believed to have
started in a mini-stereo
system nearly caused a
inajor fire on
Christmas Eve in a
Lynn Valley townhouse
complex.

Ramsay said that residents
in the townhome heard pop-
ping noises at approximately
10:30 p.m. so a girl went te
her bedroom to see what was
causing the noise.

When she got to her room,
she saw her bedroom on fire.

The faunily notified other
townhome residents and the
fire department.

The neighbor with the fire

Luckily, a resident of the
Emery Place complex used dry
chemical extinguishers to put
out the fire, said North
Vancouver District Fire and
Rescue manager of emergency
services Bruce Ramsay.

“He Bot it, I would say, just
in time,” said "Ramsay. “Id say
in another minute or two we
would have a very serious
condo fire our hands.”

extinguishers heard the com-
motion, and rushed over with
the equipment in hand and pur
out the fire.

Due to the neighbor’s
quick action, damage was lim-
ited to the curtain and wall and
smoke damage, in addition to
the scerched stereo, said
Ramsay.

The investigation contin-
ues.
