The Saskatoon Fire Department responded with five apparatus to a chemical leak at 315 Marquis Drive early this morning, around 3:45.
What emergency responders found was a flatbed trailer with 1-thousand litre totes and one of those totes was leaking methyl alcohol.
The area was isolated and absorbent material was used to soak up the chemical.
The tote had a couple of pin hole sized leaks and arrangements were made to empty the contents into another container.
The Fire Department estimates 5 per cent of the chemical leaked from the tote, but says the public was never at risk.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
