Fire at Station 12 - March 3, 2009
Around 1430, station 12 crew advised communications that they had extinguished a small fire in the basement, possibly mechanical room. Crews requested an additional pump, district chief, and ladder 13 was on scene. Fire was put out with dry chemical and then the building was ventilated. One person was transported to hospital by EMS. Safety 23 also attended the call. I believe the person transported to hospital was a contractor, and not a fire fighter.
Units - Pump 12 & Rescue 12
additional - Ladder 13, Pump 35, Car 10, Safety 23, EMS and Ottawa Police.
Tales from around town
The old site was closed down by Microsoft at midnight, February 28, 2009.
Rumors and more rumors... From various sources on and off the service, this is the gossip on new equipment. I have herd talk of a 134 foot E-One Bronto being supplied by Federal money, two new rescues, a pump tank, a command post (SVI maybe...?) and some other rigs. I would be willing to guess that P33 and P43 will see something soon, and maybe P71, P72, P73 and P92. I am sure a PT will fit into the picture some place... With the addition of a couple ladders for 23 and 57 and a few tankers, that should turn over the entire fleet. (post amalgamation)
Stay tuned
