A Saline Township man was hospitalized after suffering burns while working outside Sunday afternoon.
The Saline Area Fire Department was dispatched to the 11000 block of Jordan Road for a reported barrel explosion. When firefighters arrived they found a male lying on the ground with burns to his face, arm and hands.
Firefighters and EMTs from Huron Valley Ambulance treated the man at the scene before transporting him to a local hospital.
The man was using a burn barrel when the accelerant caused the fire.
Sunny, with a high of 72 and low of 32 degrees. Sunny during the morning, overcast in the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
