An explosion and fire last Saturday at an industrial facility in Sarnia, Ont. claimed the life of one worker and injured five others, one of them critically. Three workers reportedly suffered serious burns.
News sources say the incident began when a dust collection system in the paint shop at Veolia ES Canada Industrial Services exploded, tearing a hole in the building’s exterior wall and sparking a fire that caused additional damage to the facility, including a partial collapse of the roof.
