Rushton added that it’s important to know your limitations. “Have some safety equipment if you’re not a good swimmer,” she said. “Put on a life jacket before you go in and let your friends know that you will stay closer to shallow water.” Water incidents rare, but safety important Safety tips for swimmers are equally important for those on boats.

Holm’s response indicated there was still much up in the air with respect to the hardest hit properties. He noted that once a fire is out, he has a “bit of a process” to follow with respect to going through a demolition order. If a property is structurally unsound while a fire is going on — “if it was going to take out houses on either side of it,” Holm said — he can take some measures to have the property destroyed. He had the ability under the Fire Safety Act to make an immediate order. The issue was getting services disconnected, Holm said. If he couldn’t get the services disconnected prior to the fire being extinguished, they could not knock the building down.
At Planning Committee on Monday, Fire Chief Lindsay Holm reported that there was a “fairly major fire” at the location. There had been concerns there might have been someone inside, but Holm said his firefighters were able to get in and determine there wasn’t. Holm also reported he would be looking at demolishing the property as quickly as possible. The area would be fenced off, and he indicated the insurance company would be looking at the damage, but Holm expressed concern about the state of the property. “It’s a very old home, I believe built in approximately 1920,” Holm said. The home doesn’t have wall decking like newer homes do, which mean the wall studs go from the floor all the way up to the rafters in the roof. There is considerable damage in one of the corners and Holm believed it wasn’t going to be safe.
That is double the number of structure fires for the same period last year. Five are residential fires; one was a commercial fire. Holm also reported Monday that the number would go up in the next report: with one residential fire on Saturday morning, and another again earlier on Monday morning. When asked why there were so many fires, Holm responded that he couldn’t pinpoint anything to suggest they were “anything but unexpected.” During the course on the fire investigations, there was “nothing that would indicate any kind of trends that I could identify that would lead me to believe otherwise,” said Holm.
