PAGE 19. M-T withdraws funding for imaging camera By Janice Becker Citizen staff A piece of vital equipment for the Blyth Fire Department may be oncce again just a little more difficult to pay for after one local municipality decided recently not to donate towards the purchase of a thermal imaging camera. Morris-Turnberry Reeve Keith Johnston said that while all the councillors agree the camera is a good thing, there just wasn't money for it. "Our budget has gone up five per cent. We had to find places to cut," he said. Emphasizing council's acknowledgment of the importance of the item, Johnston_ added that it may be something they could find money for another year. Blyth Fire Chief Paul Josling said the movement to remove the camera from the fire board's budget began when both Central Huron and Morris-Turnberry councils refused to pass the budget with the camera included. Central Huron suggested voluntary donations instead of a levied sum. That council agreed to contribute $3,000 towards the $22,000 (before taxes) price tag. Josling said the thermal imaging camera is an extremely important addition to the department's rescue arsenal. The camera works like a night- vision camera, allowing the firefighters to see hot spots in smoke-filled and dark locations. It can be used to locate people trapped in fires, children hiding under beds Truck stolen in Huron East On July 8 just before 1:15 a.m. OPP were called to a residence on Division Line in McKillop over a theft. Sometime in the last day, while the owner was away, someone entered the property and stole a 1999 GMC black pickup truck from the laneway. The truck has an aluminum box built into the back that contained some tools and clothes. The truck has Ontario plates #602-3HK and is valued at $22,000. Anyone who can help solve this is asked to call the local OPP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).

"When you are disoriented, even in a room you might be familiar with, it can take three to four minutes to locate a closet and search the room," said Josling. "The camera allows firefighters to scan the room in 10 seconds. In a fire, those seconds are critical." Josling stated cases where the hot spots of children's bodies had been seen between mattress and box 1 rains Cover your head when it Line your bird cage 2 3 Make a fireman's hat 4 Shade the sun from your eyes Mulch for your garden 5 6 12 13 14 Clean car windows 15 Make spit balls 16 17 18 Use for wrapping gifts 19 Emergency toilet paper 20 Use as insulation 21 Use letters for writing ransom notes Rustling sound effect for 22 home movies Start a fire with it 23 24 Make into house slippers 25 26 27 Make a collage springs or hidden in corners. "Recently the Hamilton department used its camera at a car accident where they were unsure if there had been more than one person involved. A scan of the area located a girl who had been thrown 150 feet from the crash scene. Another use would be for checking out suspected drug growing operations in houses. Josling said many of these houses are rigged with high voltage or traps to prevent intruders. The houses show up hot on the imaging camera 42 Use rolled up to beat rug 43 To line the trash can 44 Make a kite 45 Paper your friend's yard 46 Clean your feet on 47 Use as funnel for filling gas tank 48 Make patterns for sewing 4114 kelatV A must for silly-puny users Keep kitchen clean when transferring potted plants Use for ironing ties Make printer's hat due to the excessive use of heat lamps for the grow process. The availability of the camera also helps with liability costs and safety for the firefighters as they have one more piece of equipment to use for their protection and the quicker rescue of victims. Josling said that with $13,500 already raised through the board's fundraising efforts, the camera has been ordered and the campaign to acquire the monies will continue.

"Either our camera will he here or another so that visitors to the fire hall can see what the camera will do."

Anyone interested in contributing should speak to a board member or visit the fire hall during homecoming ceremonies in August.
