An apparent leak in an arena's refrigeration system has left multiple people dead.

According to a breaking news report from Patrick Johnston of the Vancouver Province, three workers who were ironically at the arena attempting to repair the refrigeration system have been killed after as the result of what is believed to be an ammonia leak.

It's difficult to share more details at this time as the leak is still currently being investigated and that may still take some time with the leak being so severe that homes and businesses in the area have been evacuated.

 Thankfully, while the workers were doing repairs the City of Fernie made the decision to shut down Fernie Memorial Arena so there have been no reports of anyone else being harmed, including members of Fernie's junior hockey team the Ghostriders. 

However this will be little comfort to the families who have lost their loved ones today as the result of a horrendous tragedy and our thoughts are with them at this time.
