Chemical leak at Abbotsford pub

An air conditioner may to be blame for an early morning haz-mat scare at Abbotsford’s Fraser Valley Inn pub.

“What we’re dealing with is a suspected leak in an HVAC unit that’s leaked some form of chemical. We’re just trying to determine what the chemical is.

“Two people have been taken to hospital with irritation of the respiratory tract, and two have actually driven themselves to hospital.”

Deputy Fire Chief Mike Helmer says crews were called to the pub on Essendene Avenue around 3 a.m.
