A sulfur explosion significantly damaged the MacGregor, Man., location of Shur-Gro Farm Services around noon on Aug. 8, according to the MacGregor Fire Department Chief Chris Leckie, as quoted by the Winnipeg Free-Press.
“The whole structural component of the fertilizer leg was destroyed. It was significant damage to the structure,” Leckie said. No injuries were reported, but some 50 local homes were evacuated as a precaution.
MacGregor is some 120 kilometers west of Winnipeg, and is one of Shur-Gro’s 14 locations. The company had not responded to inquiries at press time.
