Dascher is hopeful that bids will be within the budget allowance of $4 million. “If the bids come in excess, we would have to go through the drawing and delete certain items to bring it in line with the budget.” KAREN KERKHOFF Sun staff The recent cold snap that kept Castlegar residents bundled up and shivering is being blamed for two chim- ney fires occuring within 12 hours of each other. Castlegar Fire Chief Gerry’ Rempel said both fires were linked to creosote build-up in chimneys, which when ignited, is highly volatile. “This brings this year’s total of chimney fires to almost triple the amoust for the same time-period last year.” 4 The first fire happened at 3417-9th Avenue at 6:36 p.m. February 23: while the second occufred at 613-4th Street, at 7:28 a.m., February 24. Rempel said damage to Chimney fires keep local department busy each site is at $50, the aver- age cost of having the chim- hey cleaned and inspected as required by law after chim- ney fires. There are ways to decrease the risk of cre- osote fires, said Rempel, such as: building one hot fire a day to help burn off creosote in the chimney; using well-seasoned and dry wood; and inspecting the chimney for creosote build-up on a regular basis. “Slow-burning smolder- ing fires promote creosote build-up. If the chimney is cold creosote comes out of the wood and sticks to the chimney. It can be very dif- ficult to put out.” Rempel! said it is also required by law that all chim- neys are cleaned and inspect- ed once a year. Dascher said the district is obligated to accept the lowest bid as long as everything is within Ministry of Education guidelines, but stressed that the contractor would be urged to hire locally. “We've always encouraged general contractors to hire local. It would be at a lesser cost to them as they wouldn't have to pay for such things as a living-out allowance.” tion of liability, insurance matters for equipment scription diese] occurred as a result of safety equipment fail- replacement were on hold.
