Being a Landlord Can Be Dyn-o-mite!
Police are lauding a Calgary landlord who called 911 after he found what looked to be a bucket full of…dynamite.
What’s the story behind this?
The landlord was cleaning the vacant Penbrooke home. He saw a pail which was filled with what the landlord thought were several sticks of dynamite.
What happened?
As soon as they received his call, Calgary police cleared the area and sent in their tactical unit and bomb technicians to deal with what could have been a very dangerous situation.
Neighbour Ted Vizlai said because of the police block off, it was difficult for his son to get home. According to Vizlai:
“My son came home and says there’s something going on – the neighbourhood was blocked off.”
It’s good the police took this potential danger seriously!
The Calgary police were diliegent and took no chances. Officers informed residents of nearby properties to go to their basements for shelter.
Taking no chances, officers told the residents of ten nearby homes to take shelter in their basements while they investigated.
Did the police diffuse the dynamite?
Fortunately, what was in the pail turned out to only be road flares. The incident was resolved in less than an hour. It was a very nice job done by our City police force.
