The truck rolled over with the confusion and a fire resulted, fed by the spilling fuel. One worker is severely burned, also he has a fractured upper arm and is unconscious. : The ‘other worker has slight burns to face, hands and chest and is con- scious. The unconscious patient should be treated and removed to hospital as soon as possible. The second worker should also have his burns attended to and treated for shock and sent to hospital. While the team is working on the burn victim, a young person drives into the gravel pit striking same 45 gallon drums, swerves and goes over the bank. The job for the team is to stabilize the vehicle, check the driver’s injuries and remove him to medical aid. Driver is knocked unconscious and slight swelling on left side of head. He will regain. consciousness three minutes after first team member reaches him. The teams were allowed 45 minutes to complete the problem. They were judged on the control of petroleum fires and burn victims. Also were required to stabilize a vehicle before removing an injured worker.

We started getting the first indication of it about two weeks ago, when what appeared to be a number of new hires turned out to be old hands minus their winter beards. Other tell-tale signs were people seen to be smiling in the retail store and brown ice in our evening cocktails — a result of the spring run-off. As you drive around town you can’t miss the sight of campers being readied for excursions, canoes starting to appear on top of everything from four wheel drive pickups to Honda Civics. Other senses are aroused by the smell of bar-b- ques drifting from various locations and the. warmth of the sun on your skin. So that’s what it feels like. Yes, now I remember! The whole town, as it awakes from its winter hi- bernation, is a hive of activity. Dirt bikes scream their pleasure at being let free again as they head out for some hard riding down the mine valley or maybe out to Maria Lake. Rumors are being heard of rainbow trout that just jump into your boat in the hundreds somewhere south of Dease Lake; record ling cod just for the taking — was it at Good Hope or Pine Tree Lake? Old trails norm- ally familiar to you under a blanket of snow now offer interesting and challenging hikes. Still other folk are content to go out to their cabins where they can let life go by at a gentler pace. Here are some of our favorite recipes that come to mind at this time.
