FIRE HYDRANTS IN FRONT OF
SEAGRAVE SITE BACK ON DUTY
FIRE DEPT. ORDERED FENCE RE-ROUTED AROUND HYDRANTS
FENCE TAKEN DOWN FROM BUILDING FIRE EXIT
Andrew from International Metropolis pointed out the unsafe fire hydrant scenario in front of the building formerly known as the Seagrave Building to Richard Marr, the Assistant Chief Fire Prevention Officer. Mr. Marr quickly realized that the situation was unsafe and arranged for the problem to be fixed. Fencing was re-routed around the hydrants and the fire exit on the building to the south was opened up. In one way this is another positive accomplishment by local bloggers; the "W Team". Too bad that it seems moot after losing the Seagrave building to an unscrupulous business person and an inept city administration. Thanks Andrew. Thanks Mr. Marr and Mr. Fabel.
From the Fire Department to Andrew:
Dear Andrew,
Inspector Fabel has ordered the removal of the fence from the front of the hydrants at 9:00 hrs. The workers are in the process of doing that as we speak. Inspector Fabel will follow-up later this morning and let me know.When the fence is removed I will let you know.

As much as I am happy to cause extra work for Mr. Sood, the fact remains that who ever put the fence around the site was a total moron.
Seriously? It took me contacting Windsor Fire to make someone realize that it wasn't ok to surround two hydrants?
At the end of the day, my biggest concern was for Big Tony's and the residents upstairs. What if a fire broke out and arriving firefighters had to cut through the fence?
Those few minutes could be the difference between life and death, or a lost business.
Score one for the good guys, and by that I mean our firefighters. They have a hard enough job as it is, with out some idiotic slug enclosing the fire plugs behind a giant chain link fence.
The W Team?
"W" Team. Someone, maybe Gord Henderson, made reference to area bloggers as a negative force (naysayers) in the city. It was suggested that Bloggers need to strap a big "W" on their chests and start rooting for the "Windsor" team. Bloggers have been running with it ever since.
ahhh....
