Fire crews received the call around 5pm about a fire at the City Barns: when they arrived on the scene they found an large acetylene torch on fire as well as part of the wall. District Chief Joe Armstrong tells CHSJ News an aggressive attack was needed to cool down the tank and extinguish the blaze safely.
City fleets, Enbridge gas and WorkSafe NB were all called in and crews remained on the scene for 2 hours; they are looking into the cause of the blaze but it isn't considered suspicious.
