Ottawa doesn’t see many house fires like the one firefighters dealt with on Tuesday morning, Chief Tim Mathias says that even though his crews arrived on the scene at 517 South Willow in just under one minute, there wasn’t much they could do except go on the defense:
Mathias will be our guest on this mornings Community Perspective. He’ll talk about fires in Ottawa this year, technology the Department has to fight fires on a new level, the newest fire engine and the tower truck. Also, a new program at Ottawa High School he hopes will draw local students to Ottawa and onto his staff. Tune in this morning at 8:04 to hear the conversation.
