CASSIAR, B.C. May 1969 Boo ey The photo above shows the Cassiar Volunteer Fire Brigade in action against the fire in the former Fletcher Day home. The Brigade is to be congratulated on their fine performance in this and other fires. Flames which could have spread to neighbouring homes were confined to the upper storey of the burning building. Traffic and on-lookers cause confusion at a spectacle such as a fire, and can cause injury. Cars should be driven no nearer than one block away from the scene. When parked they must be off the street and allow enough room so as not to obstruct any streets the fire engines might take for more water or those streets which the ambulance might be required to take in case of injury. Room must be left for the wrecker as well, as it may be needed to remove fuel barrels. Children should not be allowed to view a fire as though it were a circus. Children that are unattended could be injured by men and hoses trying to get around them, or by debris falling from the burning building. Hindrance from children and well meaning adults can cause injury to on-lookers and Firemen alike. If you wish to help, keep cars and people back. Ask the Fire Chief before dashing to the assistance of the Fire Department. Remember — The Firemen are trained, You are not. Photo courtesy Mr. |. Rovak
