A spill at Oland's brewery in Halifax January 8 lead to a full scale response from the Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency Services. Don't worry the spill was not beer. In fact it was not a caustic chemical as initially thought, but was steam and hot water. Nevertheless HRM F+ES took no chances and came to the site prepared for the worst.
There was a report that one person apparently sheltered on site and was extracted, but there were no reports of injuries.
The tally of apparatus was impressive with seven units, not including at least three officers' cars.
Pierce 07-417Q (spare)
Sterling 04-347S with 05-366TR Command Centre
GMC 5500, 07-419U / Dynamic Truck Bodies, Decon 5
Freightliner FL80 / Metalfab, 97-257R Tactical Support
With temperatures hovering around 0ºC the streets were wet with road salt, so the equipment that came from any distance took on a hazy look.
