Lets hope sanity and common sense prevails at this government sitting.

A few jobs for the locals does not justify presenting the whole area, and the world, with this ever persistent danger.

Below is a media release [not sent to me :-] from the Nain RCMP.

2008-04-07On Sunday, the 6th day of April, 2008 at 01:36 a.m. the Nain R.C.M.Police received a complaint of a house fire. The incident was reported by a neighbor who could see smoke coming out from the residence situated on Middlepath Road, inNain, NL. The Nain fire department was called to assist and the R.C.M.Police attended the scene, where two males were observed assisting the occupants of the residence exit through the Master Bedroom window. The two victims were transported to the Nain Clinic and were suffering from smoke inhalation. They were airlifted to the Happy Valley Goose Bay, as a precaution where they are being treated. The victims are a 67 years old man and his 54 years old spouse, their names are not being released at this time. The R.C.M.P. officers at the scene were able to confirm no other people were in the residence and put out the fire using a fire extinguisher. The investigation into this incident is continuing and foul play is not suspected at this time. The fire was limited to the living room area and is believed to have started on the couch. It should be noted that the quick action of local residents and R.C.M.Police may have prevented more serious injures and damages in this matter.

I know the people rescued, seems like NLHC will be looking for a local interim maintenance person. Also it seems like some lucky people, and some quick thinking ones too.
