“He opened up his truck door and gas was just flowing out of our filling station,” said Vicky. “It was coming out litres and litres at a time.” The damage caused by the event cost hundreds of thousands in clean up and repairs. Though the Beresford’s insurance took care of the cost of damage to their property, it will not cover the extensive damage done to the land across the street, which belongs to the municipal district.
On July 1st, the Granum and District Canada Day Society will host a benefit auction with all proceeds going towards the cost of damage and repairs from the incident.
