Lv-J Lexington 9894221 Rude awakenings A few Heppner residents have had a few too many rude awakenings lately. Those few are Heppner Volunteer Firemen who have been called out seven times in little more than a week. Heppner Volunteer Fire Chief Forrest "Forrie" Burken bine says that two of those fires were caused by inadequate wood stove installations and the other five were flue fires. Burkenbine says that many of the fires caused by inadequate installations occur in older homes, but flue fires strike newer homes as well. To prevent against flue fires, he advises that a wood stove should be run on high for a half hour twice a day to prevent creosote buildup in the chimney. "Fifteen minutes is not enough," cautioned Burkenbine. "The best (chimney) installation is straight up," he continues, "but it can't always be that way. If the chimney is cleaned out good at the beginning of the cold season and kept up properly, it should last until spring." . Burkenbine warns that a fire caused by faulty installation may be of a more serious nature because the fire generally smolders all night. "That's most likely and early morning fire," he added. Fires of this nature can result from stove pipe seams not being tight enough, the stove or stovepipe situated too close to wood, or a gap where the pipe goes into the wall. Despite his early morning awakenings, however, Burkenbine is not anti-wood stove. "I think they're great. They can be the most inexpensive way to heat." If you have any reservations about your stove or chimney installation, Burkenbine says that he will give inspections, but cannot sign insurance forms. Nor can he give building permits for installation. A building codes permit must be obtained from a building inspector if the stove is a new installation. Burkenbine says that an inspector comes to the Heppner area once a week. Although preventing fires is Burkenbines first priority, he is also on another campaign recruiting new members. "I have a very good bunch of firemen," praised 254-year-veteran Burkenbine. "They're dedicated and put in many hours on their own time. But I would like to get at least another dozen firemen on my roster." He says that the department has had up to 25 and down to 12 members and presently has 15. "That's not so good when you figure about a 50 percent turnout. "We realize that you can't be around all the time, but there are weekends, evenings." Seven firemen have had more than 10 years on the department, and five have served five years. What kind of person joins a volunteer department? "A person concerned with the safety of the people in Heppner," he responds with no hesitation. How dangerous is it? "Quite hazardous." But if there's a chance of one fireman dying or being injured on the job, Burkenbine says he won't have them take the risk. One fireman has died at a fire but his death was caused by a heart ailment and was not directly related to firefighting, says Burkenbine. Otherwise he says that only "very minimal injuries" have occurred. Forty-four year-old Burkenbine says there are no age requirements for the job, "We have some under 25 and some over 40," and no physical requirements. Indeed, Burkenbine invites physically handicapped to join the force. "Some team breaks 100 McCabe had 19 points, La Verne Van Marter, 17, and Pat Campbell, 13. Eggers' team was paced by Dana Heideman and Bill Myers with 10 apiece.
