THE TORONTO FIRE SERVICES HAS NO OVERSIGHT AND CONTINUE TO ENDANGER PUBLIC SAFETY, AS WELL AS FRAUDULENT ACTIONS, BY FIRE INSPECTORS, FIRE CAPTAINS AND EVEN THE DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF AND THE FIRE CHIEF.
IF THE T.O. FIRE SERVICES IS NOT DOING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO, WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY AND THE SERVICES, THAT IT IS TO PROVIDE TO THE PUBLIC, THEN IT SHOULD BE AUDITED.
TORONTONIANS NEED TO STOP THINKING, THAT THEIR FIRE CHIEF IS ABOVE REPROACH AND START DEMANDING, THAT HE ANSWER TO THE PUBLIC, OVER HIS ACTIONS. DON'T THINK IT COULD NOT HAPPEN HERE, BECAUSE IT ALREADY HAS. NO EXPLANATION HAS BEEN GIVEN, AS TO WHY THE TORONTO FIRE CHIEF, MATT PEGG, HAS NOT LAID ANY CHARGES, AGAINST OWNER OF THE ILLEGAL ROOMING, WITH THE TENANT STILL LIVING IN THE FURNACE ROOM. (This writer spoke with a manager, from the Electrical Safety Authority, who inspected the illegal rooming house, last week and confirmed that he did see signs of the renter, living in the furnace room, after inspecting it and the rest of building and then issuing a notice of violation to the owner). The manager came out and admitted, about the tenant, "Yes, he is living in the furnace room" after having met the tenant directly during the inspection. And then promised to get the T.O. Fire Services to do its job and removed the tenant. The same tenant is also accused by other tenants, of disrupting the power in the building, by interfering with the electrical system and the utility box, also located in the furnace room. Yet, Matt Pegg and his bunch of corrupt fire personnel, still will not budge. The reason?. A conflict of interest with the home owner and putting the safety of the public first, is also not a priority with him.IN MY OPINION, MATT PEGG, THE CURRENT FIRE CHIEF, FOR THE CITY OF TORONTO IS CORRUPT. AND HE SHOULD BE FACING CHARGES, FOR ENDANGERING, PUBLIC SAFETY AND FOR ACTING CORRUPT.
People tend to roll their eyes in disbelief, when you begin to talk about corruption, involving those in government. Those who are legally mandated to enforce the law. Whether that is the Municipal Code, and its bylaws, or more serious statues, such as the Ontario Fire Code and the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, there are some serious breaches, on the part of those who are supposed to protect the public. The worst case scenario is if a Fire Chief, is caught acting corruptly. And what that also means for public safety. As for the Toronto Fire Chief and his corrupt inspectors and fire captains, I have also heard (on the word of an authority), that the Auditor General, Beverly Romeo-Beehler, has gotten hold of this information, about those in the local divisions, including, the Toronto Fire Services and may just initiate an investigation, into their wasteful spending and other fraudulent practices. Keep your fingers crossed because that office is also corrupt. And when I asked someone in the City Clerk's Office, (on behalf of the public), how one can go about initiating a public inquiry, I was told that there is no such option, other than the city's Ombudsman. And that office for reasons of clarity, is also a dead end. The most promising investigation of corruption, by local city officials, is if the Auditor General, conducts one, because if it is done properly it could lay to criminal charges, against those city officials involved. But it most likely will not, in this case. Above all else, Toronto wants to protect its image and flinging damaging charges against its Fire Chief and others, in their eyes do not look good. But it has also happened before, in other Canadian cities, that is. So why not Toronto as well?.
A simple Google search will show you that the Toronto Fire Chief, Matt Pegg, has a lot of company among other Fire Chiefs, and other fire personnel, who has also acted corruptly. The real problem is that the entire local government, within the City of Toronto, is corrupt. We see those individuals moving from one division to the other and taking their corrupt practices with them. No better example than Tracy Cook, former Executive Director of MLS, who is now the Deputy City Manager, for the City of Toronto. Making her in charge of all of those city divisions below her office, such as Municipal Licensing Standards, Toronto Fire Services, Building Division and others.
