Do they have a Walter White on staff? I don’t have a clue:
WHERE THERE’S smoke, there’s fire.
And in the case of one Roxborough fire station, where there are noxious fumes, there’s a major problem. But what that problem is, and how long it will keep the station shuttered, remains a mystery to those close to the issue.
“The Fire Department is reluctant to give us information,” said Joe Schulle, president of Local 22 firefighters union. “As far as we’ve been told, there’s no timetable for reopening the station.”
The station is Engine Company 66, which has sat unused on Ridge Avenue near Shawmont since Dec. 18, when one of its workers was taken to Roxborough Memorial Hospital after becoming dizzy and light-headed, Schulle said.
Shortly after the incident, the union was told that an investigation by the Environmental Protection Agency turned up higher-than-normal readings of a dozen chemicals not typically used in the process of fighting fires.
“Stuff like chloromethane, names that are tough to even say,” Schulle said. “We’ve seen carbon monoxide at stations before, but never this stuff, to my knowledge.”
Schulle requested a copy of the EPA’s report to find the exact source of the chemicals, among other information he says is vital to union members. As of last night, he’s had no luck – even after filing a Right-to-Know request with the Fire Department.
As Walter White was fond of syaing, “stuff happens.” But then there IS the question of who assasinated Hideo Murai and why? He was Aum Shinrikyo’s chief chemist. Perhaps it was Yoshio Kodama the CIA’s connection to the inner circles of Japan’s far right (fascist) political players? Wake up and smell the gas.
Any fracking nearby?
