Around 8:30 this morning, fire crews responded to an EMS call at Irving Paper on Bayside Drive.
3-4 people were sent to the hospital as a precaution after accidentally inhaling hydrogen sulfide.
Hydrogen sulfide is a dangerous gas with a rotten-egg odour that is generated as a by-product in many industrial processes.
Fire crews and WorkSafe NB are on the scene ventilating the area and checking out the processes to make sure it’s safe. The condition of the workers isn’t thought to be serious at this point.
