Toronto [Canada], March 28 (ANI): Firefighters have extinguished a blaze that broke out on the roof of a building in downtown Toronto following a suspected explosion on Friday evening, CBC News reported, citing local authorities.
According to CBC News, citing the Toronto Police, the incident occurred near Richmond Street West and John Street at a structure under construction where propane cylinders were present. Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene shortly after.
