One person received minor injuries after a gas blow-back at the Acme Foods store Tuesday.
   Fire Chief Brian Fradgley of Acme Fire and Rescue said his department responded to a call, with the mutual aid of Linden Fire and Rescue, about 12:30 p.m. on February 3.
   The fire chief said the pilot light on the furnace went out, and natural gas built up, causing the blow-back, or very small explosion, when the pilot light was lit.
   Fire rescue turned off the natural gas to the building, and the injured person was transported by Kneehill Medic 2 to Three Hills Hospital for medical care.
   The gas will remain off, Chief Fradgley said, until ATCO Gas can examine the furnace thoroughly and determine the cause of the problem.
   He said there was no damage to the building or contents resulting from the gas blow-back
