Gas leak at community health centre under investigation
Investigators are looking into the cause of a gas leak at the Bremner Avenue Community Health Centre Thursday morning.
Red Deer Emergency Services Platoon Chief Chuck Ruether says crews responded shortly after 7:00 a.m. to reports of a gas odour in the building.
“(It) was reported by two people who were in the building that there was a strange odour,” he explains.
“When crews arrived, they got an initial reading of 300 parts per million (ppm), and then as they further assessed the level of CO (Carbon Monoxide) – the highest reading recorded was 1,200 ppm.”
