   Is it me or has there been an increase in the number of major fires in the Woodhaven/Richmond Hill vicinity? I know that the "Bean Counters" in City Hall have proposed closings in this area in the past 25 years even shutting down E294 for a couple of years and almost closing E293 when they shut down E36, 204, 209, 212 & 278  in 2006.  ??? ::)
