Update on sprinklers
Aug. 24th, 2023 11:17 amIt turns out the missing sprinklers and other fire fighting equipment was stolen by a known thief located in Kamloops.
So. The bummer[1] of this is that in an effort to put the best spin on the fact that the Fire Service's equipment was going missing, a local authority[2] implied that locals were helping themselves to fire fighting equipment to save their own homes, which is an understandable thing to do if that is what is being done. Because it turned out to not be that, effectively the LA accused local people of selfishness and stupidity to no purpose. Smoooooooth.
[1] - the impetus is to use "ironically" - but somehow that seems too elevated for this melodrama of errors
[2] - talking head for same
