The City of Brandon reported Thursday (Sept 7) that at around 6:00 pm, “there was a natural gas line explosion at the Civic Services Complex at 900 Richmond Avenue East.
One employee was taken by ambulance to the hospital, but no other injuries have been reported at this time. Brandon Police Service and Brandon Fire & Emergency Services are onsite.
Out of an abundance of caution, the Civic Services Complex will be closed while an investigation takes place to ensure the building is safe.
There will be some minor disruptions to City services, however, all Brandon Transit routes will continue to operate as regularly scheduled.”
There are no details on the condition of the injured worker.
