"It was almost exactly the same problem, different piece of equipment but with the same problem," said Fire Chief Tim Pley. "We had some difficulty [getting it contained] because the concentration was so high we had trouble getting inside, so this time we had BC Hydro cut the power to the building."
With the power shut off, the PAFD were able to get inside and stop the leak. By approximately 7:20 p.m. the PAFD had given the store back to the owners who will close it to the public until they can get their refrigeration system working again.
