Between February 12 and March 1, 1990, five consumed several millon scrap rubber tires in an outside storage yard near Hagersville in southern Ontario. The fire had a significant negative impact on the local communities, agricultural activities and the environment. The column of dense smoke generated air-borne pollutants and led to the evacuation of a zone of 3 kilometre radius around the site. Oil, created by the breakdown of the heated tires, spread into the soil and surface water and reached the groundwater aquifer. The fire fighting resources of the local community were exceeded and an extensive organization of local and provincial government agencies were needed to assist in the management of fire suppression activities.Entre le 12 f\u...
