‘Contributed by Earl Holt ~The 1989 fire season officially began on April 15. . - With that in mind, the Forest Service would like to remind the public that burning permits are required as of April 15. Burning permits in the Kalum Forest District can be obtained from the District Office in Terrace or the Field Office in Stewart. The _ Terrace District Office is located “ on the second floor in the B.C. Hydro. building on Keith Avenue. People living within the municipalities of Terrace, Kitimat or Stewart should ob- tain their burning permits through their respective municipal offices of fire depart- ments. Burning permits are an impor- tant administrative tool that is used by both Forest Service and Fire Departments. Burning per-. mits enable the Forest. Service and Fire Departments to keep track of where fires are burning, thus avoiding unnecessary responses to unknown fires. Burning permits also give Forest -Service and Fire Departments an opportunity to put in written conditions and give verbal.ad- | vice to permittees on how they can safely carry out their burn- -ing. In addition, it should be noted that if burning is carried out in accordance with the con- ditions: of the permit, the per- mittee is only liable for the con-: dition of the permit. If a fire starts as a result of ‘burning without a permit, the person ~ lighting the fire can’ be held responsible for all costs resulting from the fire. Permits are not required for campfires. Anyone lighting a campfire should ensure that the fire is located a reasonable distance from trees or other in- Free dance _ Contributed by Elaine Parmenter _ There will be a free public per- formance this weekend by the _ Strathcona Chinese Dance Com- -pany.
