An explosion at Pinnacle Renewable Energy’s wood pellet plant in British Columbia injured three and resulted in around 30 employees being evacuated.
The incident happened on 9 October after a fire broke out inside equipment used to dry wood fibre. The plant’s built-in suppression system had already extinguished the flames by the time fire fighters arrived.
The plant was last inspected on 17 June 2014, when no problems were found.
