COCHRANE, Alta. — An energy company says a natural gas well fire that injured five workers north of Calgary continues to burn a day later.

There was a"well control incident" Monday afternoon at the site about eight kilometres north of Cochrane, Alta. and as of Tuesday afternoon the well was"still actively burning," HWN Energy Ltd. said in a news release.

RCMP have said it's believed a crew hit a gas pocket while drilling, triggering a large explosion that injured the workers. On Tuesday, an AHS spokesman said he could not provide an update on their conditions due to patient privacy rules. It said the fire has been contained to its surface lease and that additional air monitors have been brought to the site.
