CHANCELLOR – A fire at a gas plant in southern Alberta that left two people injured has been extinguished.
Canadian Natural Resources spokesperson Julie Woo says there is no safety threat to the public or environment and that all regulatory bodies have been notified.
A spokesperson for STARS air ambulance said a man in his 70s was transported to hospital in critical condition from the plant, located east of Calgary.
Woo said a second person injured at the fire was assessed on scene and released.
The Calgary Fire Department said it responded with hazardous materials technicians to identify all chemical and hazardous materials.
The surrounding area was evacuated as a precaution.
