A strong burning smell reported across Metro Vancouver Sunday morning was connected to a fire at the Parkland refinery in north Burnaby, according to officials.
Many residents woke up to an intense odour early Sunday, which was concentrated in East Vancouver and the adjoining area of north Burnaby.
A spokesperson for the provincial Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy said that the smell came from a fire at the refinery, near Confederation Park, and that the fire is now under control.
A CBC News reporter outside the refinery described the smell as “acrid burning, like plastic or chemical”.
