He said he waited as long as he could.“The last customer complained, ‘Your car is a little filthy and dirty,’ so I have to keep up with it. It’s part of my job.

“We’re asking car washes to remain closed,” Calgary Emergency Management Agency Chief Susan Henry said. “Now is not the time to be washing cars.” Henry said there is no order in place for carwashes to close — just a request — but the city is asking for cooperation.
