Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Oct, 2016 01:01 PM
    WINNIPEG — Emergency officials say workers at a Winnipeg trucking company had to be evacuated from their workplace twice in separate incidents of dangerous leaks.
     
    Hazmat teams went into Day and Ross Transportation, on the 200 block of Haggart Street at 5:19 p.m. Monday after a call that R12 refrigerant was leaking from pressurized cylinders.
     
    A second call for leaking cylinders came in at 10:59 p.m. at the same location.
     
    A spokesperson for the fire department says both times the Hazmat teams were able to stop the leaking gas and restore air quality and workers went back in.
     
    The cause of the leaks is under investigation.
     
    There were no injuries in either incident.
