Two workers sustained minor injuries following an explosion and fire at a co-op refinery in Saskatchewan earlier this week.
The incident occurred at the Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) complex in Regina on Tuesday morning.
“Crews got called to the co-op refinery at 4.49AM this morning,” according to the Regina Fire & Protective Services.
“The co-op refinery fire crews have the situation under control and Regina Fire is in a standby mode to assist if need,” the service said via X Tuesday morning.
