Where are them Snow Plows II, Case of the Stuck fire Truck
Well, following up to my last post, Snow Plows still haven’t visited my front door. Oops, make that a correction, one just arrived. Too bad the fire truck already freed itself and returned to the station awhile ago.
This morning, at 6:30ish, I woke up to clear my driveway of more snow, just like any other normal day after a heavy snowing night. To my surprise a Toronto Fire Truck was struggling at a nearby turn. The fire fighters have been trying to free their ride for quite sometime, as I finish shoveling my drive way, I walked over to see if I could offer some assistance. They have enough of almost everything needed to request themselves. The only thing missing was a clear, plowed, salted road. This missing ingredient in this case might have been a small dent in the fire department’s payroll. What if there was a house at the end of that street on fire? What if it wasn’t a fire truck, but an ambulance and one of my neighbor just had a stroke and requires immediate medical attention?
Its been over 24 hours since it started snowing yesterday, why are the streets still packed with unplowed, unsalted snow?
