firefighter noted, ‘‘we
determined that there
was no danger at that
time.” One resident in the
immediate vicinity was
informed of the accident.

Brian Brooke, the

-driver for the Canadian

Propane company's
vehicle explained that
while he wasn't hurt
during the incident, he
“shook for a couple of
minutes.”

He said he- had pulled
over to the side of the
unpaved road and
stopped to allow a couple
of vehicles to pass. The
truck then simply slipped
off the road’s shoulder
and came to a rest on its
side. Fortunately, there
were no leaks, something
which could have
resulted in a catastrophe.

Cliff Best, the Terrace.
fire chief, was the first to
arrive on the scene,
though the rescue
operation was handled by
the Thornhill firefighters,
said safety precautions to
prevent leakage were
taken immediately.

“The valve between the
tank and supply lines was
shut off,” he said. “These
are the ones not
susceptible to rupture.’

According to Webb, the
driver removed the

electrical terminals from
the batteries, and had his
fire extinguisher ready in
case of a leakage. Webb
said it wouldn't have

taken very much to ignite
the fuel,
‘This is kind of

dangerous stuff, if there
is a leakage there is a
real danger of a violent
explosion,”’ he said. ‘‘It’s

worse than carrying
dynamite.”

Webb said with the
right concentration
mixture, even kicking
two rocks together could
create enough friction to

ignite the fuel. The
propane was to be used to
heat homes on the bench.

Stan Bergunder, the
manager of Canadian
Propane’s Terrace
operation says the chance
of an explosion ‘was
minimized by the safety
precautions built into the
tanker truck.

‘ven if the outside
valves are sheared off,
there are interior safety
valves,” he noted. He
also said the truck is
never filled beyond 85 per
cent capacity. The truck
which overturned
Monday, was at about
that level.

Bergunder said the
operation was “really
handled weil’ even
though, “it was the first
Gime it ever happened
and I really didn't know
what to do.”

He said “you can’t
blame anyone” for what
happened and noted that
except for some exterior
damage to the truck,
there was no harm done
in the end. He noted there
were three other similar
instances involving his
company that he was
aware of, and there were
no leaks in those cases
either.
