A technician is on the scene at the Lake of Bays Brewing Company to fix a failed supply line, which brought the fire department out at about midnight for a reported explosion.
The Huntsville/Lake of Bays Fire Department responded to a 911 call reporting an explosion at Lake of Bays Brewing in Baysville just after midnight on Jan. 8. Crews from Station 4 in Baysville, including 15 firefighters and three trucks, attended the scene on Muskoka Road 117. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered a vapour cloud around the building.
The cause of the plume was attributed to an over-pressurized tank containing carbon dioxide. This caused a supply line to fail, resulting in a large release of carbon dioxide.
There was no fire present, and no injuries occurred from the incident. A technician is currently on the scene to correct the issue.
Having an emergency response plan for your business is very important, and business owners can contact the Fire Prevention Division with any questions or concerns about emergency or fire safety.
