CALEDON, Ont. – The Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal says a deadly house explosion in Caledon, Ont., last week was caused by natural gas in the residence.
Fire Investigations Supervisor Skye Lorimer did not provide many details on the office’s findings, but says the issue lay with a supply line running into the house.
Lorimer says there’s no evidence to suggest there was anything suspicious or criminal about the explosion that took place last Sunday.
