Fuse6 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Wow Murdochville is lucky it didn’t have a second instant open pit mine right there. Would love to see a video of what exactly transpired there. Someone got awful lucky or kept their wits about them pulling machine away from the pump. Wonder if those pump hoses have some type of a flash back arrestor up at the top similar to what acetylene torches have? PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First by hitting the emergency stop from inside on pumps then by having the wits to grab the fire extinguisher and run outside and put out the fire.

smclelan Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Would have been bad for the community to loose the gas station, even short term. On a positive note for Murdochville . I just read a news article talking about a mining firm doing some tests to evaluate reopening the cooper mine again. Apparently the copper market is high again. zeusand and quebec bob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
