Kudos to the City Crews Written by MRargenta, on 18-09-2008 20:49 My sister and I were among the first on the scene today when the truck caught fire on Willow Street. We called 911 and watched the firefighters extinguish the blaze. It was no small fire, and we kept a safe distance, fearful the gas tank might explode. The firefighters arrived promptly and put the fire out. While I'm on the subject of jobs well done, I want to commend the NLR Electric Dept and the Street Dept for taking care of the power outage and the broken tree branches that blocked the alley behind my house after the windstorm last weekend. In the middle of the night the Electric Dept replaced a damaged transformer, and when the Street Dept picked up the mountain of fallen branches, they cleared away a bunch of unsightly/overgrown shrubs. When they finished their work, the alley was a thousand times cleaner than it's ever been. That's typical for the NLR workers who collect trash, repair power lines and take care of our streets. They go above and beyond the call of duty. They deserve high praise. |
