I'd like to see some stats on these 6 fires vs. overall residential fires in Calgary. There sure seem to be a lot of planter fires in recent years.

Oh, and construction folks correct me if I'm wrong - no one uses particle board in housing. OSB != particle board.
And while correcting the smug prick, building a house out of CEMENT wouldn't be "really safe". You need aggregate to give cement paste strength. I suppose he'd also leave out the rebar, rather than pass that cost onto the consumer.

Amazing they could have such a dumbass in a position that requires public comment.
