A suspected gas leak was reported Wednesday afternoon at Canadian Forces Base Borden in Angus, which was later determined to be a fuel leak from a diesel vehicle.

The Canadian Forces Base Borden Fire Department was called to an overflow parking lot near El Alamein and Hong Kong roads after the suspected leak was discovered.

Firefighters note the spill posed zero threat to infrastructure, personnel or wastewater collection systems on the base.

Captain Kyle Donnelly, public affairs officer with the Canadian Forces Base Borden, tells CTV News the parking lot leak was quickly contained by the base’s Environmental Spill Response Team.

Officials say the situation was handled safely and there is no further risk to the base or surrounding area.
