Fatal Toronto home explosion gas related: Fire Marshal

TORONTO – A preliminary investigation by the Ontario Fire Marshal indicates a massive explosion that levelled a Toronto home on Monday and left one man dead was gas related.

“There was very little fire damage to the debris,” said Wayne Romaine of Ontario’s Office of the Fire Marshal during a press conference Tuesday morning.
Romaine said the fuel, which has yet to be positively identified, was ignited from “mid-range.”

“Every fuel has a range, upper explosive range and lower explosive,” said Romaine. “If it’s below that, the fuel is too lean. It doesn’t create this.”

Dash cam video recorded around 4:20 p.m. and obtained by Global News shows a house on Brimley Rd. in Scarborough burst into a cloud of smoke as the driver backs out of a driveway nearby.Scarborough-house-explosion
