The occurrence

On 16 April 2024, at approximately 1045 Mountain Daylight Time (MDT), a pipeline operated by TC Energy, carrying sweet natural gas, ruptured near Edson, Alberta. The escaping gas ignited.

The rupture created an approximately 450 square meters crater, and the resulting fire continued until the affected section of pipeline was isolated. No injuries were reported. The TSB is investigating.
