Thermal Imaging Camera (continued from page i) wires as being hotter than their surroundings. The firefighters can then make a single inspection cut in the wall right on the offend ing wires, mitigating the situation with as little damage as possible. After a fire has occurred in a home and has been extinguished, the operation becomes what is known as “overhaul.” In overhaul, firefighters are looking for hotspots—areas of fire that may be hidden and yet still smoldering. A TIC will enable firefighters to locate and extinguish hidden hotspots more efficiently—and pre vent more damage to a home or the need for the fire department to be recalled to a location. Firefighters have been called the “red light wrecking crew,” a name earned because they cannot leave a property with any thought that fire may still exist in the home or that conditions exist that would cause a fire to rekindle. To be certain that no further danger exists, they must tear into walls to visually ensure that their work is done. Through the use of a TIC, firefighters can more efficiently and effectively carry out our mission, with less damage incurred to the properties that we protect. Pine Knoll Shores Fire Auxiliary President David Gildner researched and helped to obtain half the cost of the thermal imag ing camera through a grant from the Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperatives “Operation Round Up*” program. CCEC customers are invited to round up their payments to the next whole dollar to help build a fund that is managed by the Carteret-Craven Electric Foundation Board of Directors, who use the fund to assist and empower individuals and organizations that help others. Informa tion on voluntary participation in this program is available on the back of the CCEC monthly bill. The remainder of the cost of the TIC was covered by the town of Pine Knoll Shores. How to Reach a PKS Police Oflficer There is an alternative method to reach a Pine Knoll Shores police officer for non-emergency situa tions.

It is essential that officers be centrally dispatched via the 911 system when physically responding to a location. £ONIENIS=^™ Dining Out 4 Garden Club 10 Pine Knoll Shores Commissioners’ Meeting 11 PKA News 12 Fishing and Hunting 12 PIKSCO Happenings .13 What's Up With PARC? 13 Current Sudoko 13 Mayor’s Memo 14 At the Library 15 Town Crier ; 16-17 Kramer’s Korner... 19 Real Estate News 19 At the Aquarium 21 Bridging the Gap 24 History of Pine Knoll Shores 25 Women’s Club 26 Events Calendar 28 Current Crossword 30 Previous Crossword Solution 30 Previous Sudoko Solution 30 Public Safety FIRE AND EMS During December, personnel participated in 153.5 hours of training.
