An explosion of a tanker truck on the BR-010 highway, between the municipalities of Paragominas and Ulianópolis, in the southeast region of Pará, Brazil, left at least three people injured today.
Over the past few years, Ornge helicopter pilots across the province have spotted drones being operated near emergency scenes or landing sites. This may delay timely patient transport and care as they are unable to depart the scene until the drone is no longer present.
