Accoding to Rocky View County, County Fire Services, alongside the Calgary Fire Department and Hazmat teams, continue to monitor the propane leak from the overturned semi-truck on Highway 1A between Lochend Rd and Woodland Rd.
The Emergency Response Assistance Canada (ERAC) team has reassessed the situation and updated the plan:
- The controlled flare-off is now expected to take approximately 12 hours once setup is complete.

- Once the flare is underway, residents will be allowed to return home.
- We will provide updated information on road access and alternate routes once confirmed.
🚨 What Residents Need to Know:
