provide notice to Detroit Fire Emergency Medical Services of the Ambassador

Bridge’s request

to the

Michigan Department of Transportation to lift the restrictions on Class 3 (flammables)

and Class 8 (corrosives) on Ambassador Bridge. The Ambassador Bridge has safely handled

Class 2 (gases), Class 4 (flammable solids), Class 5 (oxidizers and organic peroxides), Class 6 (poisonous materials) except 6.2, and Class 9 (miscellaneous materials) since well before

1994. As information,

As you know, the Detroit Fire EMS responds to emergency situations on the Ambassador Bridge a few times each year. These responses have been executed smoothly and without incident. The EMS and Ambassador Bridge have also conducted mock emergency response exercises on the Ambassador Bridge in the past. We invite you to send to us your proposed schedule for another mock emergency exercise to help ensure continued good communications and timely provision of EMS services in the event that such services are needed again on the Ambassador Bridge.

If you have any questions, reach out to me directly.
