Furnace Fuel Spill – Nova Scotia, Canada

On April 15, 2016 EFI Global were called to respond to a 7,000 litre furnace fuel oil spill at a First Nations School in Nova Scotia, Canada. During the first few days of the project, EFI Global met with local and Federal environmental and health officials as well as Aboriginal Affairs who approved each step that EFI Global presented.   

EFI’s quick response and assessment of the situation allowed for immediate containment and control of the escaped furnace fuel oil.  The students were able to return to class within three days following the discovery, and the remedial work is expected to conclude in less than 30 days from the initial call.
