Aurora April AS FIRE MARSHALS OFFICE WARNS YORK FIREFIGHTERS Careful investigating will solve many an arson case NEWMARKET When a super sleuth is to sift through a gutted building fire departments have one of their own to call on the Ontario Fire Marshal Arson is the fire marshals greatest concern and last Wednesday Ken from the provincial office filled in the York Regional Mutual Aid Firefighters Association on the procedures during such cases with a slide presentation at the Newmarket Fire Hall on Main S The meeting was attended by firefighters throughout the region from to Vaughan If your insurance premiums are causing sparks rubbing against your mortgage it would be best to read on These highly trained men can see things in a destroyed building the average person wouldnt even consider In Sarnia recently the owner of an electrical firm was charged with arson even though through an error he was allowed into the building to hide a crucial piece of evidence According to Mr Pipher the key piece missing from an electrical which touched off the blaze was a pair of jumper cables The cables were found in a desk drawer where the contents had been untouched by the flames and smoke Tests on the cables proved they had been out in the room at the time of the fire and a con- viction followed In another case in Kitchener a man told police he had been attempting to clean stains off a sofa in his apartment with varsol when a flash fire occurred However fire marshals later discovered through burn patterns in the walls and floors the fire had started in another part of the apartment Again conviction resulted From to 1976 property damage costs in incendiary arson fires jumped million Mr said some of the increase is due to inflation but added that incidents of suspected arson had increased over the five year period from to roughly cases In charges were brought in cases while charges were laid in Mr Pipher did not have totals for Mr said the indicator of dendiary fire is the economy When the economy is poor you get lots of fires he said Surprisingly homes are the most common target for arson with businesses running second According to Mr another hot spot for incendiary activity is a tourist area its a cold wet miserable summer you can bet youll get fires he said To demonstrate how good an Indicator the economy Is in such cases Mr said that during one year in which farm prices were low the fire marshals office investigated barn fires The year after prices had stabilized there were six barn fire investigations The investigator told the gathering they could best help the fire marshal by maintaining tight security around a building where arson is suspected He also asked firefighters to watch for clues around the building such as signs of forced entry He also cautioned the firemen to initial anything in the building that might have been used to touch off the blaze The evidence will stand up better in court if the firefighter can positively identify the object He especially stressed security of the building in cases where arson is a cover up for murder Through forensic testing the fire marshals office can determine whether a victim died before or during the time the flames reached the by proximity to the point where the blaze broke out and the amount of carbon dioxide found In the blood Twenty five to 35 per cent carbon dioxide saturation Is enough to cause death by asphyxiation Mr also warned against any salvage operations saying each piece of furniture left in its original spot is essential in determining the burn pattern If security is guaranteed well make an effort to get there first he said Liberals hanging in forfall election claims NEWMARKET Difficulties being experienced by the York North Liberals were reflected Wednesday in the scanty turnout to their annual meeting here Only 23 present at the Newmarket Community Centre heard York Centre MPP Alf Stong urge members to throw full support behind leader Stuart Smith and exploit his strengths Mr Stong a Richmond Hill lawyer told the small crowd hold in there until fall He said Liberals would be fools to force an election before autumn Denying that his party is suffering from bankrupt policy Mr Stong told the gathering were not bankrupt of ideas but we didnt use the proper strategy We got scooped on our educational policy He added that were preparing some wry good papers on housing unemployment and theres a study going on regarding justice These he stressed will not be leaked out piecemeal as in the case of the educational policy Hopeful these new papers and strategy will catch the favorable attention of the Toronto newspapers Mr Song foM the gathering he was confident if we can just hold on over summer we can establish some credibility He noted repeatedly through the evening that Liberals do not have a favorable press in Toronto Theyve been less than kind to Ontario Liberals he said Acknowledging that were in a precarious position still reeling from the gallup polls he urged fellow party members to show were still here still fighting and to buy time We must keep Bill Davis to the observation that minority government is still working he said Mr expressed optimism that increased popularity for the federal Liberals will cause a spillover to the provincial scene The York Centre representative to Queens Park strongly supported Liberal leader Stuart Smith throughout the evening by pointing out that he like more than half the Liberals MPPs was brand new to the scene and lined up with PC veteran politicians and Stephen Lewis There lies the strength of the said Mr Stong He was a rookie said Mr Stong of liberal leader Smith He had to learn The situation was so new even the didnt know how tohandle it When the election comes
