requesting the department to come to
the Puddy/Wolfe residence at R. 3,
Lucknow. Once again this was a false
alarm.
At 3 p.m. the firefighters were called
to a combine and straw fire. The owner
was Paul Frayne of R. 3, Goderich.
At .:6 p.m. the alarm went again, this
time taking the firefighters to the
residence of Peter Edisbury of R. 5,
Lucknow, where a grease fire had
erupted in the kitchen. The residence
received considerable smoke damage.
Mr. Edisbury said that most of the ma-
jor kitchen appliances and cupboards
will have to be replaced, along . with
flooring in the kitchen, TV room and
porch.
His daughter, Mary Jane, noticed the
fire and called Mr. Edisbury to the kit-

was from the ceiling to about four feet
off the floor, making it difficult to find
the fire extinguishers. Mr. Edisbury
donned a pair of gloves that he thought
were real leather, unfortunately the
gloves were imitation leather and the
heat melted the material to his hands.
One hand received .considerable ".burns,
which will prevent Mr. Edisbury using
it for sometime. As the flames had

At •9 p.m. on the evening of August
16, the department responded to a call
to an accident scene, east of Lucknow
on .highway 86, where a -car and tractor
had been in collision. The department
was called in the .event an fire should
erupt.
False alarms
no joke
Last week the Lucknow and District
Fire Department received two false
alarm calls. One on Monday, August 14
at approximately 2 p.m. and the second
the following day, August 15 at approx-
imately 2 p.m.
Needless to say, Chief Bud Hamilton
and members of the volunteer brigade
were distressed to think that somebody
in this community has so little regard
for the department and the safety of
others in this community.
As Chief Hamilton said, "what would
happen if we are out on a false alarm
and a legitimate fire call was received?
Somebody's life could be in danger.
In addition to the worry of personal
loss, there is the cost to consider. Each
time the fire department is called out
the cost is charged to the municipality
involved.
These firefighters are volunteer; that
means each time they answer a call
they . must take time off from their
place of employment. While they
generously give of their time to fight
legitimate fires, they do begrudge the
waste of their time when some irrespon-
sible person places false alarms.
Following the second false alarm,
Chief Hamilton contacted the Kincar-
dine OPP, who are investigating. Plac-
ing false alarms falls under the
Criminal Code, and a person or persons
