Firefighting is a profession where discipline is mandatory. You do not make things worse and this is result of wildcat charging into a burning building. THIRTY YEARS OF FIRE SERVICE has taught me that many firefighting deaths and awards were self decisions that became more fatalities than necessary. The media thrives on reporting heroic? deaths.

Hatchery raised fish are raised in a warmer well water source. This increases their growth rate so when they are released into the lake they survive better than undersized stream hatched fish. The smaller fish are more likely to become forage for all the Lake Ontario fish. Fishing for salmon is more dependent on hatchery supplied fish and an adequate supply of the well water.

The loss of hatchery production can be offset by greater trout stocking.

A fire fighting rule is if a fire is ongoing for twenty minutes, the building is structural unsound and evacuation is necessary and entry is ended. This rule was not enforced by senior officers. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Another condition is when the lake water reaches its densest.Around 39 degrees the lake is the same temperature, top to bottom. The heaviest water sinks to the bottom and the surface water cools till it becomes frozen ice .The. Bottom water stays warm so the fish survive during the winter. But the dissolved oxygen on the bottom decreases and the fish suspend upwards till the spring thaw adds freshly oxygenated water to the l bottom of the lakes.
