Fire Department Stops Building Work Due To Air Quality Concerns

The Saint John Fire Department putting a halt to the renovation of a 3-storey home at 100 St. James Street after complaints about particles in the air.

Acting District Chief Barry Oickle tells CHSJ News since the rubble contains urea-formaldehyde and the workers had to stop gutting the building until safeguards are in place.

The workers will now have to seal off the building and bag all of the rubble as they work.

Rainbow Park was shutdown briefly due to concerns about particles blowing down into the park.
