TERRACE — A fire which is
believed to have started on or
near an electric stove consumed

‘>a four-plex between The Motel

and Riverside Park Dec. 12,

No. one was injured in the

blaze which started just before 1
p.m. that date, says fire chief
Bob Beckett.

The fire took off rapidly once
it reached the tar roof of the
four-plex, he said.

Beckett estimated . replace-

ment value of the four-plex at 5

$135, 000.

The: ‘fire has resulted’ in
several relief efforts to help
those burned out,

“A private effort resulted in
donations of clothes, towels and
shoes while the legion auxiliary
will be helping one of its
members whe lived i in the four-
plex.

KKKKKK

The fire is one of several to
occur in the city in the past
several weeks,

A mobile home fire at the
North Kalum Trailer Court
recently heavily damaged the
residence. The mobile home
-wasn’t insured,

As well, an ‘electrical fire
heavily damaged a freight truck
Dec. 4 on the 4900-block of
Halliwell.

In one of his last acts before
retiring, former fire chief Cliff
Best said the mobile home fire
should be a strong reminder to
everyone to be careful during
the holiday season.

The fire chief said a green tree
that isn’t losing its needles
should be chosen. It should also
have sufficient supply of water
in the stand.

Christmas tree lights should
be approved, and lights should
be turned off as much as possi-
ble — particularly at night or

‘ when the house is empty.
