Dawson Creek: The site of an explosion was discovered at a natural gas wellhead at approximately 12:30 today.

 

The site is about 12 Km northwest of the community of Tomslake which is located in the Dawson Creek area of BC. near the Alberta border.

 

The explosion appears to have been deliberate and is located in a rural isolated area. A small gas leak is currently being contained by EnCana operations engineers.

 

This leak does not pose any danger to the public. This is the third such explosion to occur in the area.

 

Last week police arrested a man in Grande Prairie and returned him to Dawson Creek. It is known that police did talk to this individual in connection with the two previous blasts.

 

The RCMP Integrated National Security Team of Investigators is on the scene.
