once again cobourg is dumb

so a big plastic factory in my town went up in flames today. spreading tons of toxic gas into our atmosphere, our breathing air and the air of many towns east of our town. for those of you that don't know our town of cobourg is neighboured by port hope which has a huge uranium plant. for all of our safety we should have a very precise and effective evacuation plan ready to go. in the case of a disaster like this the town should snap into action and have everyone evacuated to safety. i could see the flames from the fire from 15 km away and i could see the smoke from even further away, a big pillar of jet black smoke. it looked as though we had a nuclear bomb go off in the middle of town. even the average joe would know how toxic the smoke would be. some not all but some of the neighbouring schools were evacuated, some but not all of the neighbouring business's were evacuated, and some but not all of the roads were closed that neighboured this factory were closed, and one section of houses were evacuated but only a small fraction of those that should have been. it is now 7 hours after the start of the fire and my fair town is still deciding if it should evacuate. this should have been decided in the first 20 mins of the fire. we are playing with peoples lives... people are trusting the cobourg officials to make decisions for their safety. plastic fumes are some of the most toxic fumes out there, and the cobourg officials have let people live in these conditions for hours. a carbon monoixide alarm went off at work and one of the employee's took it outside to see where the safer place would be and outside it had a reading of 600... this is far beyond dangerous. i really hope that the town of cobourg is ready to deal with the fall out because of this. guarenteed there are going to be many health issues stemming from this fire and i hope that cobourg is ready to compensate for these health issues. i had to go into town and i could smell the fumes when i entered town and i was upwind from the factory, soon after entering town i got a major headache, and i was only there for a short period of time. i'm sorry for all those people who live on the wrong side of the fire, and i'm especially feeling sorry for those who no choice but to stay in the effected area (ie brookside inmates, elderly). and i definitely feel sorry for those who are now out of a job.
