A 45 gallon drum containing sodium hydrochloride, which is used as a industrial bleach, was discovered in a ditch yesterday afternoon along Highway One eastbound. District Fire Chief B-J MacDonald says the Hazardous Materials Unit was brought in to safely get rid of it. It was taken to an industrial site and disposed of.
Meantime, Fire officials believe the cause of yesterday morning's fatal fire which killed a 53 year old man at 120 Prince Street was accidental. The investigation continues to determine how he died.
