Advisory Board to Improve |

Fira Sarvica Th

(Es w wwe wae ase

The creation of a provincial
fire commissioner and a Fire
Services Advisory Board to
oversee all aspects of fire
services in British Columbia
has been announced by Attor-
ney-General Garde Gardom.

The new plan, which will
replace the provincial fire mar-
shal's office which was created
in 1924, will consist of two
balanced components under the
supervision of the fire com-
missioner and will reflect the

important division between op- *

erational fire services on the
one hand and fire inspection
and prevention on the other.

“Through the commission
and the advisory board the
quality of fire services through-
out British Columbia will be
monitored and improved,” Gar-
dom told the annual meeting of
the British Columbia Associa-
tion of Fire Chiefs being held in
Powell River.

Gardom said the Fire Ser.
vices Advisory Board, to be
chaired by the fire commission-
er, will be structured much like
the B.C. Police Commission,

“Its role will be to advise in
the establishing of standards
for the province in all matters
connected with operational fire
services in B.C. and to liaise
with fire-fighting forces,” the
altorney-general said.

The board will be com-
posed of appointees with ex-
perience and knowledge in
various aspects of fire related
matters, professionals, build.
ers, insurers, engineers, archi-
tecls and product manufactur.
ers,

Gardom said a division of
fire safety will place new em-
phasis on fire prevention and
inspection, with high priority to
be given to approving plans for
buildings designed for public
use. :

“We want these proce-
dures streamlined so that plans
for these kinds of buildings
anywhere in the province may
be processed with all possible
dispatch,” he said.

To accomplish this, he said
an additional 16 fully-trained
staff members would be assign-
ed Lo new regional offices which
will be opened under the new
organization.

Gardom also announced
thal the provincial government
will be making funds available
to local fire departments for a
public awareness campaign
similar Lo “Arson Alarm” spon-
sored by insurance and state
agencies in Washington State
last summer.

The attorney-general said
there will be a comprehensive

"industry More Accountable

New Forestry Bill

Sweeping revisions to for-
est legislation introduced re-
cently in the British Columbia
legislature mean the province's
largest industry will have to be
more accountable to the gov-
ernment, Forest Minister Tom
Waterland said last week.

Waterland made the com-
ment in a news release accom-
panying the long-awaited legis-
lative package, including a new
Forest Act, a Ministry of
Forests Act and a Range Act.

“The legislation provides
incentives to industries which
practise good forest .manage-
ment and penalties for those
Waterland said.
“The clear message is ‘use it,
manage it, or lose it.’ "

“He said the principle of the
legislation: is that the Crown

harvest only if those who use it
will manage the forest properly
and provide equitable return to
the Crown.

“Partnership in manage-
ment between the Crown and
industry is a major aspect of
the legislation,”
said. “
_ _As part of the legislative
package, the minister said,
amendments to logging tax
legislation also will be intro-

duced to “fully harmonize” the .

new bills with federal taxes in
order to -eliminate opens
double taxation.

The new bills are ‘the
response to recommendations
made in November, 1976, by
Peter Pearse, who headed a
royal commission into the for-
est industry.
