The view across the creek to the towers of Humber Bay Shores still looks beautiful, but several days ago prior to when this image was taken by UrbanToronto Forum contributor 67Cup, a fire at a factory to the north up Mimico Creek resulted in a chemical spill that travelled down the creek. A clean-up is underway to help the waterway recover. A boom can be seen stretched across the mouth of the creek at Lake Ontario, while the clean-up crew man a boat behind the boom.
