The Ontario Fire Marshal’s office has been called in to investigate following an explosion at a house under construction in Toronto’s west end.
Fire crews were called to 171 Cedric Avenue, just south of Vaughan Road and east of Oakwood Avenue just after 5 a.m. Saturday.
When they arrived they were met with an active fire but it was quickly extinguished.
No injuries have been reported.
“An investigation into the origin, cause and circumstances of this explosion will be initiated,” Toronto Fire Chief Matthew Pegg said in a tweet.
It’s unclear at this point if neighbouring homes suffered any structural damage as a result of the blast.
The home, which was for sale with a list price of $2.89 million, was vacant at the time of the explosion.
