An individual who picked up the phone at a retail shop in downtown Tumbler Ridge declined to comment when asked about the emergency situation on Tuesday.


“I’m not talking to news outlets right now,” the staffer told Postmedia.


Another individual at a nearby restaurant said there were no customers present when the alert went out but that staff had been sheltering indoors all afternoon.


More to come.
