N.B. rink evacuated after carbon monoxide scare

SAINT JOHN, N.B. -- A New Brunswick hockey arena was evacuated Friday, after higher-than-normal levels of carbon monoxide were detected inside during a hockey game.

Dozens of fans were forced to leave the Peter G. Murray Arena in Saint John while fire officials checked inside. A fire department spokesman said the carbon monoxide came from a leak in a Zamboni.

The arena has equipment installed to detect carbon monoxide, though it wasn't clear whether the system picked up the gas.

Jeff Randall, who was at the arena for Friday night's game, said he saw a thick fog before fans were told to leave.

"I just thought it was the weather or fog,'' Randall told CTV News. "I never thought about it until after it was evacuated.''

Fire department officials were back in the arena on Saturday to check for signs of the deadly, odourless gas.
