Hazmat wrap-up At the recent Hazmat collec- tion event we had a total of 20,265 lbs. of hazardous materi- als collected at our recent col- lections event. Quite a pile of “stuff.” — By Mike Murphy Touist season is here PPON photo by Matt Hall A pair of tourists stroll among a full parking lot on a sunny afternoon at Battle Rock City Park. With more visitors in the city, and with holiday traffic, all are reminded to drive with greater caution. Fire report The Port Orford Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a structure fire on Friday, June 26th. The Fire Department respond- ed with two pumpers, one ten- der and a rescue vehicle. We requested Port Orford Community Ambulance be dis- patched for standby. The fire was a chimney fire. Firefighters entered the home, extinguished the fire in the wood-burning stove and gained access to the attic. We laddered the roof and used a hose line to apply a minimal amount of water to cool the creosote fire in the chimney. Firefighters were on scene for approximately two hours. We continued to check the scene throughout the afternoon and evening. Savoy Theatre BRIEFS, from page 1 811 Hwy. 101 Port Orford, Ore.
