#ExtinguishersForCindy campaign to receive 1,000 Fire Extinguishers from London, Ont. company

Ten more seconds, is all they believe they needed.

Ten more seconds, is all they believe they needed.

When Cindy Devine’s car caught fire on Oct 2, 2020, none of those who stopped to help on Highbury Avenue south of London, Ont. had a fire extinguisher in their car.

Devine’s sister Christine Rozon believes an extinguisher may have bought enough time for first responders to arrive.

“Nobody should ever watch what I saw,” says Bob Reid, who was one of the first civilians on scene, and tried to help remove a pinned Devine from her car which a short time later went up in flames.

“I don't want that to happen to any family ever, so put a fire extinguisher in your car,” says Reid.

Reid is advocating along with St. Thomas native Tony Bendel to make it mandatory for all vehicles to come equipped with a mounted extinguisher.

While they wait for #CindysLaw to be official, their local campaign #ExtinguishersForCindy pushes forward.
