BURN PERMITS — From page 1
The new fee structure will be set up retroactively, so those who have already paid those fees will be reimbursed (minus the $125) if this was their first offence. The burning bylaw has been in place since 2010. Councillor John Hammond, also a firefighter, suggested raising the cost
of the permit from $20 to help recoup costs for the fire department rolling out their trucks and personnel for such complaints. Councillor Paul Tiessen suggested that after 10 years, everyone should know about the burn permits and perhaps a promotional campaign should be undertaken by the town.
LEAMINGTON — A house fire on County Rd. 37 just north of Road 7 Saturday evening resulted in extensive damage. Leamington Fire was called to the residence at 6:58 Saturday evening as a passerby noticed smoke billowing from the roof of the home. Upon arrival, Leamington fire noticed smoke coming from the first floor and from the roof. Crews conducted a primary search and found that nobody was home at the time. Leamington Fire’s hose line extended as far as the second floor but it was soon
discovered that the fire was in the attic of the home. As the fire became more intense, firefighters were forced out of the house. Kingsville Fire was called in to supply extra water and manpower and also man the Leamington station for other calls. After extensive ground and ladder operations, the fire was under control and the roof had to be cut back to make sure the fire was extinguished. The cause is currently under investigation, but is suspected as faulty wiring in the attic.
