1.    If they start burning again next door, rather than calling Peg in the office,
        just call the Fire Service directly at 334-2493. I've been told that if 3
        people call to complain about the smoke, they have to stop burning.

        Pass this number on to people in your building who are not on line.

2.    Many people will be heading out soon, so be sure the office has your current
       phone number up North in case you have to be contacted due to an emergency
       in your condo.
