Son Doug lives in Cassiar, employ- ed by Cassiar Asbestos. PUBLIC ACCLAMATION Those of us who were around most of the sum- mer are aware of the numerous occasions on which the services of our Fire Department were needed. Our guys were exceptional. When one considers that the Cassiar Fire Department is a volunteer organization one can only commend their performance. They answered all calls promptly and showed great consideration for other people’s property. Without their prompt action the fire damage this summer could have been much more extensive. Special notice should be given to the way in which they hand- led the fire in the Powerhouse. Their actions averted what could have been a major disaster to the town, both in loss of lives and equipment. Well done!
