MCLEESE LAKE — One person is dead following a tanker truck fire on Tuesday on Gibraltor Mine Road in McLeese Lake.
RCMP say the fire occurred early that morning, and that the vehicle involved was a single-tank truck hauling explosive material.
RCMP, along with Gibraltar Fire, evacuated the area and set up containment until the explosive risk was reduced.
“Once the explosive risk was mitigated police confirmed that an adult man had died as a result,” says North District RCMP Cpl. Madonna Saunderson. “The incident is being investigated by the RCMP and the Mines Investigation Unit.”
