B.C. Fire Commissioner Rick

Dumala reports 7,455 fires occur- red in the province in 1990, ep from 7,280 in ‘the previous year. The number of persons injured in fires in 1990 was 464, compared with the previous year’s 387.

The major cause of fires in one and - two-family dwellings was cooking accidents, responsible for 533 of the 1,962 such fires in B.C. last year. The second-largest cause was heating equipment, 410, down

. from 450 in the previous year.
