6:23pm, Both ends of Hermanville Rd are still closed off.
9:30 PM; after multiple hours on scene, we all finally got to go home to our families. Sorry about your inconvenience.
I live here and Hermanville road is still blocked off on both sides therefore the fire is not contained
The fire was indeed contained. You still have to clean up the hotspots in the containment area. When traffic wasn’t closed, everyone was busy zipping around the fire apparatus and getting in the way of them trying desperately to save the houses you get to sleep in again without worry that the fire was spreading.
Sorry about the mild inconvenience, but if your house went up, you’d be here complaining about your home being gone. There’s no win. Only complaining and griping over first world problems.
