He said the Forest minis- try is leaving its options open until the report is completed around November. The prospect of phasing out the New Denver station was first investigated by the ministry when the district’s Tanger announced ‘plans to retire at the end of ‘this summer.

On June 1 he personally made a presentation to Premier Bill Bennett on the concerns and priorities of the B.C, Fires Service. Banks is also a second director of the B.C. Fire Chiefs’ Association and it would appear that his credentials, presentation and apic and span Fireman's ‘uniform did the trick, because the Attorney General has agreed to meet Suly 27 with the Executive of the Fire Chiefs’ Association with the idea of getting some action on the recommendations outlined in the Keenloyside Report. Ihave read Chief Banks’ presentation and would have to coneur with his concerns even if I were Premier, Dr. Hugh Keenleyside's report on the Fire Service of British Columbia was completed May 81, 1976, Two years later, thanks to Warren Banks, somebody is going to be asked to blow the dust from the report. port came back with 37 plus seven other suggeated recommendations, Son in Canada. } More people died violently by fire (110) in 1976 (while the report was in moth balls) than died violently by criminal activity (85). : He made a good point when he reported that the Police Service has a Police Act, a Police Commission, a Police College and good fainiog and updating programs, but the Fire Service has none of these advantages, Thave a good deal of reapect for any man who can jog a few miles before breakfast and still face the yammering demands from a public with vested interests coming out of their ears, but I think matters of life and death should take the highest priority for the premier. When the fire chiefs and the men they represent have something to say then I think we had better listen. T happened to be in the Terra Nova Motor Inn lobby a week ago and saw the faces of fire-roused guests. Fortunately no one was injured and we can thank Banks and his team of fire fighters. Banks is a soft-spoken man but he means what he says. I think we had better pay attention before one of his yellow-coated men ‘with gas masks has to carry us from a blazing building.
