(Flame can be seen just over top of crane on harbour front – photo submitted)
A fire at the Canaport LNG facility on Red Head Road in Saint John yesterday afternoon. The fire department responded at 12:41 yesterday as a large flame burned at the top of the flare stack. All non-essential personnel were evacuated from the area. Fire officials say a pressure build up is to blame for the huge flame and vapour cloud. Fire crews were on the scene for an hour and a half.
There was no damage to the facility.
