Fire And Explosion Destroy Fish Factory Building In Murray Harbour Pei

Murray Harbor Deputy Fire Chief Alan Glover told CBC News the explosion was caused by propane tanks in the engineering shop and ice plant. No one was injured, Glover said. He said the department received a call about the fire at 3:30 p.m. and called for assistance from the Belfast, Montague and River Murray fire departments. The building was fully engulfed when they arrived, Glover said. The flames then reached some propane tanks stored inside. Part of the fish plant went up in flames on Friday afternoon. (Rebecca Pineau) “There was an explosion that we heard from the campground. It was around 3:50,” said Rebecca Pineau, who lives at Ocean Acres Campground nearby. People in the area say they could see smoke for miles.
Power was knocked out in nearby communities while crews battled the flames. Maritime Electric reported 1,356 households without power as of 5:10 p.m., but shortly after that, the number dropped to 15.
