Christine Kilpatrick, Special to the Sun
Published:Â Saturday, September 06, 2008Three people were dead and three injured, two critically, following a hazardous materials incident at a Langley mushroom farm Friday evening, police said.
Family members knelt and prayed outside the farm at 23751-16th Ave., after several people were whisked away in ambulances with multiple injuries shortly after 5 p.m.
Dozens of firefighters and three air ambulances were called to the farm after several people working on the site inadvertently released an unknown toxic chemical and were overcome by noxious, unidentified fumes.
The large acreage is home to two mushroom farms, called Farmers Fresh Mushrooms Inc. and HV Trong Ltd. Mushroom Farm.
The matter is being investigated by WorkSafeBC.
