STAFF REPORTER
A massive six-alarm fire has enveloped Toronto’s northwest after multiple explosions were reported this morning.
Several explosions rocked a propane depot in the Wilson Ave. and Keele St. area, shortly before 4 a.m. Toronto Fire Capt. Adrian Ratushniak could not confirm reports that a propane yard was on fire. He did say there was a “substantial call” in the area, and there have been reports of injuries.
“We are…continuing with a large-scale evacuation of the area,” said Ratushniak, including nearby Murray Rd. Staff Sgt. Gerry Cashman of 31 Division said that police, fire, and EMS units are on the scene.
The TTC has provided buses to the area to take residents to the Yorkdale shopping centre. It is unclear how many people have been removed from their homes, some of which were reported to be severely damaged.
Although he could not confirm what was on fire, Ratushniak said the explosions were indicative of a propane fire.
“If it was multiple explosions, I think maybe it’s like a gas station or propane cylinders.”
Eugene Koutcher, who lives about a kilometre south of the area, said the explosions woke him up to “a huge orange fire” early today.
“I was just asleep and it was a huge explosion and I thought it was thunderstorm,” he said. “It was absolutely a huge explosion, actually a number of explosions.”
The matter continues to be investigated. There are several road closures in the surrounding area.

Toronto rattled by large explosion
Tobin Dalrymple , Canwest News Service
Published: Sunday, August 10, 2008
TORONTO -- Emergency crews and police are evacuating a northwest suburban neighbourhood in Toronto after a series of massive blasts rocked through the city Sunday morning.
At around 4 a.m., several large explosions erupted from what is said to be a propane factory in the city's northwest end, setting off giant fireballs and loud explosions.
A combined effort between fire fighters, Toronto and provincial police, and special emergency response crews have set up a one-kilometre perimeter around the source of the blast and are in the process of evacuating homes.
No injuries or fatalities are confirmed. Toronto EMS duty officer David Viljak said officials have received reports of "casualties" but can't confirm them since the victims are "inside the hot zone" and behind the barricade.
And an officer with the Toronto police, who would not give his name, said workers were still inside the factory when the blasts went off.
Huge billows of dark smoke could be seen from the area of the blast. Several images of the explosions, and videos of the fire balls going off were posted online soon after they occurred.
"It's a pretty large fire, looks like a seven-alarm fire, and it's still burning," the police officer said.
"We are two miles away here, and we could feel it (the initial explosions)," said the Viljak.
Several police officers, fire crews and emergency crews are on site, investigating the blast and trying to keep people out of the danger zone. Police have set up a command post to co-ordinate the emergency response.
Some witnesses described the blasts as feeling like an earthquake and causing buildings to shake.
Traffic in the area of the blasts, near the Keel St. and Wilson Ave. intersection, has been shut down and power to the area has been cut.
Toronto police have been stationed on every corner in the area, but in some cases were unable to tell confused residents what was happening or even if they should evacuate.
People on the scene report that there was one large explosion, followed by several smaller blasts. Area residents said that windows closer to the epicentre of the blaze had their windows shattered by the concussion of the initial blast.
TTC shuttle buses are removing residents from the area, though locals don't know if a general evacuation order has been given. Residents also report the neighbourhood is the site of several seniors residences.
Local radio reports from 680 News said it has been flooded with hundreds of calls from listeners who had heard the series of explosions. The reports didn't confirm whether the explosion came from a Shell gas station or depot near Keele and Wilson.
There was "a huge ball of fire with huge bangs or booms" one reader told 680 news, also describing "pieces of debris being shot into the air."
