[All] Chemtura fire at 4am today

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi folks
Newstalk 570 mentioned there was a fire around Chemtura around 4am today as a result of the storm we had last night. No spill was reported but it is something to watch out for. Power outages were reported in Kitchener as well. 
Once risk we'll be seeing more of with storms like this is the associated risk of contamination by way of toxic spills from industry during power outages. Most filtration systems are electrical. Not sure if we have legislation in place to mandate any reasonable back up for these systems but we should as part of the source water protection measures.
