A false alarm causing some hassle this afternoon at then Lepreau post Office around 1pm.
A
package had broken open and was leaking an unknown substance in the
trunk of a delivery vehicle. The Canada Post employee was not injured,
but had been quarantined before the fire department's arrival and the
Regional Hazardous Materials Unit was called in from Saint John.
The
Regional Haz Mat Team donned protective gear before accessing the
package--but as it turned out, the contents were not dangerous. They
were on the scene until 3:30.
