- History
- Thomas Blake and his wife Gertrude came to Burnaby in 1921 with their three children: Thomas "Tom", Susie and Frederick "Fred" (b. 1912). They lived at 4456 Pandora street, owning that lot and the adjoining 66 foot lot on the west. The Municipality cleared a trail, later putting down a one-plank sidewalk and bringing in a half-inch water line for the family. The Blake family lived in two wall tents for a few years while they cleared their land and built their house. In 1921 at the age of nine, Fred Blake attended Gilmore School where he learned about different woods and how to use hand tools. In 1927, he attended North Burnaby High School in a commercial course were he learned typing, shorthand, book-keeping a commercial law. Throughout his teenage years, Fred worked at Armour Photo Finishing, developing rolls of film and collecting and delivering the films and finished prints. Thomas Blake worked part-time for the Burnaby Advertiser and part-time for the Vancouver Sun to pay his way through university and become a Burnaby school teacher. In 1927, at the age of sixteen, Fred began his firefighting career as a volunteer, with the first major fire of his career taking place December 31, 1927 at the 4600 block of Albert Street. He continued as a volunteer until 1934 when he went to the logging camps as a steam fireman in the Queen Charlotte Islands and on the coast. In the early 1930s, Fred was a member of the Army of the Common Good, and with the falling crew cut second growth timber on Capitol Hill for firewood to be shared with other members. The Army also produced over 125 tons of vegetables from its own gardens to feed children and youth who were near starvation from lack of adequate relief funds from the municipality. The Army was in operations for ten years and during that time the members organised the Credit Union movement of British Columbia and drew up the Credit Union act thorough the Vancouver Co-operative Council. They also started Co-Op stores and the Co-Op Wholesale Society. During this time, while on Relief (now welfare) Fred also worked for the municipality on the two projects of the clearing of Confederation Park and the clearing of Lougheed Highway. Fred re-joined the Burnaby fire department on April 1, 1939, as a paid member at No. 1 Hall. He came up through the ranks to become Training Officer for the department in 1949 and full time training officer with the rank of District Chief in 1952. Fred was promoted to Assistant Chief in 1966. He retired from service March 1, 1972.

- Scope and Content
- Track 4: This portion of the recording pertains to Jean’s life after she finished high school. She describes her jobs in the 1930s, her first marriage, and talks about her oldest children. Jean recalls working at the London Cafeteria and Granville Lunch, on Granville Street, as well as the White Lunch and Spencer’s Department Store on Hastings Street in Vancouver. She relates how she attended business school in the 1960s, after her husband died, rather than go back to the same kind of job, and talks about teaching shorthand, which she did at the Pitman Business School. Jean describes how she married Walter McCallum in 1940. She talks about Walter’s jobs, and how she moved to Victoria when he was in the Navy during the Second World War, and to other provinces with him when he travelled for his Union job during their twenty-five year marriage. She recalls the births of their daughters and the family’s living arrangements in Burnaby during and after the war during the housing shortage. Jean recalls living with her younger daughter Terry on York Street for a while after Walter died, before moving to Kitsilano. She describes the house in Kitsilano and what it was like living there with both of her daughters when the girls returned from travelling in Europe.
