Just getting the word out
I can’t say why or how I know but I’m pretty sure the sulpher blocks are on fire at syncrude right now. Obviously no need to panic (yet) but a sulpher fire the size of 2 football fields is no joke so stay ready to evacuate if it’s needed.
Wind is currently blowing south east about 10-15 degrees away from the city. So sulpher dioxide isn’t a concern yet I don’t believe.
Update: Crews have been working on the fire for almost 10 hours. Both CNRL and Albian have provided support.
Some areas of site were temporarily evacuated due to wind. It is unclear whether or not the situation has gotten better.
