Emergency responders satisfied with behaviour on Halloween

It seems the rainy weather may be to thank for giving fire crews in Vancouver and Surrey a fairly quiet Halloween night.

Vancouver Fire Captain Gabe Roder describes the evening as having been, “uncharacteristically quiet,” with some small incidents and a garage fire.
 
A replica Lambourghini was inside a garage at 3500 Williams Street and is a write-off.

In Surrey, Chief Len Garis says it was a pretty ordinary evening with, among other things, a couple of mailbox fires, and a dumpster fire, “Really, it just doesn’t seem to be like there was any activity associated with the evening. But, it was an extremely wet night as well, right?”

Garis says since 2005, crews have only had a handful of events each Halloween night after the city began regulating the discharge of fireworks.
