‘Always in the back of my mind': Looking back at the rescue of the Lucky 7, one year later

CBC2 days ago
One year ago, the community of New-Wes-Valley was celebrating an incredible survival story. A crew of fishermen, now known as the Lucky Seven, spent 50 hours adrift in a life raft over 200 kilometres from land, and were rescued in a rare positive outcome in a province with a history of tragedies at sea. Eugene Carter was captain of the Elite Navigator vessel, and spoke about it all with Here and Now's Carolyn Stokes.

Ottawa Fire Services hazmat team helps tackle transport truck fire in Stittsville

Ottawa Fire Servies says its hazardous materials (hazmat) team helped deal with a significant fuel leak after a transport truck caught fire in Stittsville Wednesday. Firefighters were called to a section of Iber Road, south of Hazeldean Road, at around 11:09 a.m. on reports a truck was on fire close to a building. The driver had made it out of the vehicle safely and told firefighters that the fuel tanks were approximately half-full and could contain up to 500 litres. A large amount of fuel was leaking because of the fire, Ottawa Fire Services spokesperson Nick DeFazio said. Hazmat crews used an absorbent called 'Oclansorb' to keep the fuel and oil floating on top of the water used to fight the fire from leaking into a nearby ditch. The fire was declared under control at 11:27 a.m. and was kept from spreading to the nearby building. DeFazio said the Ministry of Environment was notified and they called in a cleanup company to the scene. Firefighters left the scene at around 1:30 p.m.
