help purchase
rescue van
By Amy Crawford
Citizen co-op student
"For a small price we will have
an effective piece of equipment,
better to serve the community."
So said Don Crawford of the
Brussels Fire Department regarding
the new emergency van recently
purchased.
Because of the new law coming
into effect in 1999 stating that fire
men will no longer be able to ride
on the back of fire trucks the Brus
sels Fire Department had to find a
rescue van. After some searching
they found a used one'. The
Beachville Fire Department was
looking for a bigger van and want
ed the old van to stay within the
fire’ sejj/ice.
Crawford said $3,000 was donat
ed by the Homecoming Comittee,
and the other $500 was raised at the
last firemen's breakfast. The Brus
sels Optimist Club have also donat
ed $3,000 to equip the inside," said
Crawford.
The van will be used for men to
ride in and will help response time
by enabling the men to finish suit
ing up enroute. Also the van will
stay at the fire so any equipment
will be close at hand.
Icy roads
a hazard
Icy roads contributed to a two-

at 6:15 p.m., Dec. 13.
A 1997 Oldsmobile, driven by
Hans Kryzanowski, 78, of Mitchell,
was eastbound, approximately one
km. east of Hwy. 4 on Cty. Rd. 25,
when he lost control on the ice, said
Senior OPP Constable John Mar
shall.
He side-swiped a westbound
1987 Ford, driven by Corneila
Blom, 30, of Walton.
The Blyth and Area Fire Depart
ment attended to assist with first
aid.
Kryzanowski and his passenger,
Martha Kryzanowski, 73, also of
Mitchell, were taken to Clinton

minor injuries.
Both vehicles were severely
