Kinder Morgan proposes alternate pipeline routes
Dog dies in house fire A dog was the lone fatality in a North Burnaby house fire Thursday afternoon. Burnaby Fire Department was called to a home in the 2200-block of Kensington Avenue at about 1:30 p.m. when someone came home to discover the fire in the basement. Assistant chief Greg Mervin said it’s possible a fire can smoulder for some time and not erupt into flames until a door or window is opened to fuel it with oxygen, which is why people are encouraged to close doors and windows when escaping a fire. He noted he was not first on the scene and did not know if that was the case in this incident. “It was pretty textbook, it was extinguished quickly and contained to the basement area,” Mervin said of the two-alarm incident, a standard response for a house fire. “One small dog succumbed to smoke on the first floor,” he said. “We tried to revive it without success.” The cause of the fire is under investigation. Mervin estimated the damage was roughly in the $100,000 to $200,000 range.

With the current Trans Mountain pipeline situated underneath North Burnaby residential neighbourhoods, its operator is proposing alternative routes for its twin. On Thursday, Kinder Morgan Canada released maps of alternate routes it is considering in Burnaby for its pipeline expansion project. The current pipeline, built about 60 years ago, is now located within residential neighbourhoods that grew around it, including Forest Grove and the area south of Burnaby Mountain Parkway. In an effort to reduce impact on residential areas, the company is proposing alternatives. From North Road to the company’s Burnaby Terminal at Shellmont Street and Underhill Avenue it proposes two options. The first, the selected study corridor, would run along Lougheed Highway from North Road to Underhill, then north on Underhill to the terminal. please see NEB, A3
