It is not often lately we in Windsor have had a chance to say thank-you to the firefighters. We do a lot of griping about stations and salaries etc.
Last night they did what they are paid all the money to do ( and do everyday ), protect human life and make sure that no-one gets hurt while putting out a potentially volatile situation. They have spent over 12 hours at the point dealing with a fire in a building that really, who knows what is left it. By the time they are completely done with this incident, who knows when they will be officially able to go off scene... could be days.
The City of Windsor had the forethought to invest money into cleaning up the site a few years ago. I shudder to think about what might have happened if they hadn't and some of the chemicals used for Chromium plating were still in the building.
To the neighboring communities that through mutual service agreements helped cover any other calls in the city while our city was dealing with this potential disaster.. thank-you.
Good job all around. Windsor Fire and Rescue, LaSalle Fire and Tecumseh Fire, you have all been spotted!
