Firefighters from the Saline Area Fire Department and Pittsfield Township Fire Department battled a blaze at Faurecia in Saline Monday evening.
Saline firefighters were dispatched to the parts plant on East Michigan Avenue at 7 p.m. and spent more than three hours at the scene. A transformer box on the roof caught fire. Pittsfield Township firefighters arrived to help with their ladder truck.
Saline Police helped at the scene.
Hart Huron Valley also arrived at the scene to provide aid to firefighters working at the scene.
Overcast , with a high of 27 and low of 16 degrees. Overcast in the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon and evening, overcast 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.
