September 30, 1987 A fire at the Fullmer residence at 225 North Main'in Nephi caused an estimated $15,000 in damages Friday. The blaze, which began at about 4:30 a.m., was caused when Max Fullmer tried to start his car while filling the gas tank and putting gasoline into its carburetor. The car backfired, and the whole place went up, said fire department officials. Fullmer received some minor burns, but was able to get his car out of the garage before the garage was destroyed. The fire damaged some adjoining property, including a camper and an apartment building. Fifteen men from the Nephi Fire Department worked 1.5 hours to control the blaze, but were hampered by downed power lines.

The board decided they would back the trip if enough parents volunteered as chaperones and the middle school teachers ap- proved the trip. The teachers, however, recent- ly voted against the trip because of liability concerns. The trip was begun when the middle school separated from the high school seven years ago. Students spent three days and two nights on the mountain, putting to use math, science, and other skills theyd learned in school. The trip gained national interest. School board president Karlen Newton said the eighth grade would have a chance to do a one-dasomething else in place of the annual event trek. The commission voted to approve the merger after being assured by a UP&L representative that the plan would not hurt Nephi or Levan, but apparently without talking to officials of Nephi or Levan. Both towns are part of the Utah Municipal Power Agency, which is involved in a lawsuit with UP&L over the companys plan to obtain power generated by federal hydroelectric plants.

This is the second year the program is being conducted in Utah. It was so successful here and in other pilot states last year that this year, the program is being conducted nationwide. Fire escape planning sheets and pamphlets are available from the fire department. Each planning pamphlet will include home fire drill instructions and an escape route planning grid. Using the grid, families can plan how to escape from their homes and put their plan into action on Oct. 6 when the statewide home fire drill will be held. "Four out of five fires each year occur in the home, and over half of deaths are children. Deaths related to fires could be reduced if people would take the time to make a home fire escape plan and carry it out, said Chief Parkin. fire-relat- ed Nephi Fire Chief, Harold Parkin, presents check to Ina Kay, president of the Juab County chapter of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
