Calgary Fire Department

We reached out to Eco Recycling for this episode, but they declined to comment.

In their last statement from September 14th, President Alec McDougall said that the company will comply with the court order and that they are, and I'm quoting here, "continuing to provide 24-hour support and full cooperation with the Calgary Fire Department and other agencies working to extinguish the fire at the former landfill site."

Legal issues aside, the fire is deemed under control, but it is still burning.

Last week, the city even set up a dedicated webpage all about it, calgary.ca/landfillfire, if you're curious, and it has a timeline and daily updates on progress as well as a link to air quality monitoring from the province.

He was injured at the start of the year, right? He has a career outside of football.

He is very highly acclaimed in the Calgary Fire Department.

So I thought, boy, I wonder if, you know, they've got this young McAtamney kid that can kick the football.

And I'm thinking, boy, you know, I wonder if this is where they kind of move on.

But make no mistake, we are going to take absolutely every action legally possible to hold eco accountable.

The Calgary Fire Department has brought in a team of experts familiar with landfill fires to help them with the plays.

Though they believe the fire itself is now under control.

Hopefully it'll be in the next week.

And I think with that demonstration of the value that you're getting, people are willing to pay because when you look at, say, the tremendous value of opening up your property tax bill, you'll see 40% plus right off the top goes to the provincial government.

You'll see it's modest amounts that are going to the Calgary Police Service in comparison to Calgary Fire Department and so on.

And And when you think about the value that you get for the money that you pay, there's tremendous value there.

But it doesn't mean that we can rest on our laurels.

And I'm thinking a lot about how Calgarians stepped up in such a big way.

We had thousands of Calgarians involved in the search.

the amazing expertise from our Calgary Police Service, our Calgary Fire Department.

Sometimes it's the worst of situations that bring out the best of people and just really proud of our city and definitely keeping Parker and his family in our thoughts and prayers right now.
