<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I think the MM&A is making a gigantic mistake in trying to blame the wreck on the fire department. That is going to come back to bite them bigtime very soon. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">The fire department <span style="text-decoration:underline;">did</span> notify the railroad about what they did when responding to the fire on the locomotive.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">From the article I linked above:</span></p> <p><span style="color:#3366ff;font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:medium;">The fire service said it contacted a local MMA dispatcher in Farnham, Quebec, after the blaze was out. "We told them what we did and how we did it," Lambert said.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#3366ff;font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:medium;">Asked whether there had been any discussion about the brakes, he replied: "There was no discussion of the brakes at that time. We were there for the train fire. As for the inspection of the train after the fact, that was up to them."</span></p>
