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 scene at 517 South Willow in just over one minute, there wasn’t much they could do except go on the defense:
Mathias will be our guest on this week’s 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 on his staff. Tune in Sunday morning at 8:04 to hear the conversation.
