At the Hawthorne Village South site there has been now a total of at least 4 fires, one inside a home and the other in garbage bins left by construction crew in front or right next to occupied homes. This is very concerning to me as a resident of HVS as it appears not much is being done to prevent them such as removal of bins away from homes after working hours/when not in use. When speaking with a Mattamy rep and letting him know of my concerns for the safety of my family I was advised that it is inpractical for them to remove the bins even though it is clear the bins have repeatedly been targeted for arson and pose a danger to residents.In speaking to the fire department about my concerns they have recommended I as well as any other concerned occupants in the area voice their concerns to the Fire Chief, our area councellor (contacts below) as well as Mattamy Head Office. If you share my concerns please also voice your concerns so that hopefully more can be done to keep us safe.
