There were minor injuries reported after some sort of explosion took place at a daycare in Scarborough Thursday afternoon, Toronto Fire says.
Emergency crews responded to a call for a fire and smell of gas at 4679 Kingston Rd., just before 1:45 p.m.
Toronto Fire Chief Jim Jessop said it is too early to discuss what caused the incident. He said some adults reported minor injuries due to the falling glass but that no children were injured.
The children had just been moved to another location when the explosion took place, to which Jessop said “thank God they did.”
Jessop said the damage to the inside of the daycare where the explosion occurred was “substantial and catastrophic.”
The gas was shut off to the building for safety purposes.
Everyone was evacuated and accounted for. TTC buses were used to shelter those affected.
The Ontario Fire Marshal Office will be investigating.
