They placed first at this regional event. • Fall 1994: Competed at the World Championships for first Stirling drags a fire time.

Stirling placed 3rd as an individual. • 2001: Team finished 4th in the world. Stirling placed 3rd in the world. As part of the team’s winnings, Ottawa received a gift certificate for an infrared camera that can detect a body in a smoke-filled room. This year the team is taking a year off. No wonder: they train six days a week, six or seven months a year, and have to do some training in the off-season to keep in shape. “The competitions help me as a firefighter,” claims Stirling. “They keep me mentally sharp and in good physical shape.” Stirling always knew he wanted an outdoor job, and after graduation he wrote the firefighter exams. He became a The Ottawa team was presented with the Combat Challenge Trophy volunteer firefighter in Kanata in fall 1993 and joined the force on Parliament Hill on 30 January 2001.

It offers instant gratification — you get to see how you have helped people when you put out a fire or respond to a medical emergency.” He also enjoys the shift work. “Although the shifts are long, you are off for a long time. That way I can spend plenty of time with my kids.” See page 8 for an account of fires at Bishop’s.

September 2002 Bishop’s University News • 7 Fires at Bishop’s

hroughout its almost 160 year history, Bishop’s has been the victim of a number Tof devasting fires. Luckily, no one was injured in the disasters. 1874: Mr. McPhee, who spotted the fire rode on horseback to Sherbrooke for the steam fire engine, but it arrived too late to do more than assist in saving the adjacent buildings. The school building and all its contents were destroyed. 1876: When fire broke out shortly after midnight, faculty and servants organized bucket brigades to try to contain the

flames. One of the staff ran to the Photos courtesy of Archives Bishop’s University railway station in Lennoxville to telegraph for the Sherbrooke fire engine, The ruins of Bishop’s from the fire of 1874. which arrived quickly and prevented further damage. The library was gutted, and the students lost all their possessions. 1891: Fire broke out in the afternoon when the dormitories were empty. Professors, students and villagers tried to quell the flames. Students dashed into their rooms to save their personal effects and Principal Adams cried unashamedly in the quadrangle. By the time the Sherbooke Fire Brigade arrived, the firefighters concentrated on saving the original college building as fire repeatedly broke out on the roof. The Bishop Williams Wing, erected the year before, was completely The fire of 1891 was the most devasting fire in the history of Bishop’s. destroyed as was the grammar school. Only the walls of the chapel remained, but the original college building was saved. After the fire, there was a good deal of looting. 1917: Fire broke out in the room beneath the library from the explosion of an electric torch. It was put out before the Sherbrooke brigade arrived. 1929: Fire damaged the gymnasium, located in the rear of Old Arts (McGreer) and slightly away from the other buildings. 1944: The rink, a wooden structure, was destroyed. 1962: St. Mark’s Chapel and the two-manual electro- pneumatic organ were damaged. Students and both the Lennoxville and Sherbrooke fire departments worked to put out the fire. The interior of the Chapel did not burn.
