Ff. kh - I ' I J i if-" ' 1 Heppner volunteer firemen don air masks before entering a smoke-filled house. A faulty flue was blamed for the fire on Aiken Street last Friday. Flue fire doused Friday A Friday morning flue fire in an Aiken Street home brought the Heppner Volun teer Fire Department out in full force and it took the firefighters only about 10 minutes to get the blaze under control. All three pumpers arrived on the scene about 10 a.m. after a call came in of a fire in the home occupied by Lynn and Glenda Colvert. With one hose in operation, the fire was soon extinguished but mem bers of the fire department remained in the house another hour to be sure all traces of the fire in the wall were gone. Fire Chief Forrie Burken bine pinned the blame on a faulty flue leading from a wood heater and estimated the damages to be a couple of thousand dollars. He cau tioned all residents with wood heating set ups to be sure and have plenty of heat resistant material between the heater and the wall. Chimneys should be check ed for cracks, loose bricks, proper flue lining, soot depo sits, creosote coating nests, bee hives and obstructions. bird other Day care open house postponed The open house for the new facilities of the Heppner Child Development Center, scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 23, has been postponed due to bad wealher.
