Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Fire Department was called to a car fire about 3:32-p.m., Tuesday at 805 6th<\/sup> Avenue, Southeast, in the driveway of the residence.<\/p>\n

Lt. Sheldon Mohr says smoke was coming from the engine compartment when the four fire units, and 25 firefighters arrived at the scene.<\/p>\n

The fire department extinguished the fire, which caused extensive damage to the car’s engine compartment, with the cause undetermined.<\/p>\n

No injures with the city fire department on the scene a half hour.<\/p>\n

Lt. Mohr adds that,two of three tenants left homeless in a recent condominium fire in\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Jamestown will not be returning to the same homes.<\/p>\n

Mohr says following an investigation the cause of the fire was ruled to be undetermined.<\/p>\n

About 30 firefighters and five units from Jamestown Fire Department responded to the blaze reported at 9:49 p.m. December 18th, staying on the scene until 3 a.m. the next day. Three townhomes burned and others were evacuated along the 2nd Avenue Southwest cul de sac that borders the James River.<\/p>\n

The families were assisted by the Buffalo Valley Chapter of the Red Cross. Caseworkers are still working with the families.<\/p>\n

Joyce Baumgartner, who occupied the center condominium that completely burned, has found a new apartment in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

Five members of the Brandon Iverson family are hoping to get back into their condo in early January.<\/p>\n

The three members of the Courtney Humes family would have had a much longer wait, stemming from a hole in the roof of their condo that exposed the interior.<\/p>\n

However, the family had been planning a move to a home in Spiritwood before the fire happened, however, and will follow through with that plan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Boat and Water Safety Class is set for today, Wednesday December 30, 2015, at James River Family Fitness.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 U.S. Army Corps of Engineer\u2019s Pipestem Dam Manager Bob Martin said, this time there will be ONE session at 10-a.m., at the second floor classroom.<\/p>\n

Items to be discussed include Life Jackets, Hypothermia, Boat Safety Equipment, Ice Safety & Rescue.<\/p>\n

Those participating include the Army Corps of Engineers, North Dakota Game and Fish, Jamestown Fire Department, and James River Family Fitness.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) Ice thickness on Jamestown area bodies of water continues to be unsafe, especially for vehicles.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show of CSi Cable 2, U.S. Army Corps of Engineer\u2019s Pipestem Dam Manager, Bob Martin said, the water release from Jamestown Dam is only 13cfs, which began on December 21st<\/sup>, using the 10 inch by-pass value, and the release is expected to continue at that rate until spring. The water is at 1429.8 feet.<\/p>\n

He said that the ice cover is unsafe for passage pointing out open water south of the island, to the west. Other open areas were noted, and NO VEHICLES should be on the ice.<\/p>\n

At Pipestem Reservoir open areas exists as no water releases have been made since September 17th<\/sup>, with the water level at six inches below normal freeze up at 1442.5 feet. Later this winter there may be a release of five cfs from Pipestem.<\/p>\n

He urges people to stay off the ice on the two reservoirs and the Jamestown River in Jamestown<\/strong>, as the open water exists, and the ice is thin, due to a lack of a steady cold temperature scenario up till now.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll be in touch with contractors in the next week to determine frost depth, which in the spring will effect runoff.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that soybean field planting last season means less stubble in the fields to hold back runoff water.<\/p>\n

Next week, Martin will begin taking snow samples to determine the amount of moisture in the snow pack, which will continue every two weeks or so until spring.<\/p>\n
