TC Energy, the company working on the gas pipeline near Moyie Springs, will be conducting a Natural Gas Pipeline Blowdown today between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m.

A natural gas pipeline blowdown is a routine procedure that involves releasing pressurized natural gas from a pipeline to allow operators to safely perform maintenance, inspections, construction, and emergency response. During a blowdown, operators isolate and depressurize a section of the pipeline, typically venting the gas to the atmosphere.

Residents and passersby in the area of Pine St to Maas Loop may experience odors from methane emissions, see large plumes reaching as high as 1 mile, and/or hear a loud roaring sound. This is normal and expected to last approximately an hour. Law Enforcement and 1st responders are aware and standing by in case of an emergency.

*********FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**********

09-19-2024

Over the past few months, incidents with Fentanyl in our community have had a sharp increase. During the past few months, we have had 2 separate occasions in which Narcan was administered to individuals who were non-responsive because of Fentanyl use in addition to several arrests and charges related to Possession of Fentanyl.

Fentanyl is not only a “Big City” problem. We have Fentanyl in Bonners Ferry. If you ever enter a bathroom or other confined space, open to the public, and you smell a burnt metallic/chemical smell, leave the area immediately and let someone know, so that the bathroom can be closed until the smell dissipates. You do not have to be the person smoking the fentanyl to fall victim to its’ effects. If you are in public and you smell something that is not normal, please take this as a warning and exit. If you start feeling short of breath or have an extreme headache that does not end once you get away from the exposure, seek immediate medical attention (call 911).

According to the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), 7 out of 10 fentanyl pills (aka mexi pills) contains a lethal dose which is up from last year’s numbers of 6 out of 10. The picture below represents the amount of fentanyl which is a lethal dose.


Your Bonners Ferry Police Department would also like to take this opportunity to let the public know that Fentanyl is present in almost all illicit street drugs that are on the market. When we send illicit drugs off to the lab, they test positive for Fentanyl. If you would like for your drugs to be tested, please feel free to come by the Bonners Ferry Police Department, we have test kits, but you must bring your drugs with you. If you feel like your dealer has been cheating you, we would be happy to help you out regarding that as well. As always stay safe and be vigilant.
