Office of the Fire Marshal Release Scene at 54 Murray Road
TORONTO (September 22, 2008) - The Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) today released the scene at 54 Murray Road, Toronto to the property owners. OFM investigators and engineers have completed their on-site investigation at the propane explosion that occurred on August 10, 2008.
The OFM has held the scene since the explosion. All reasonable steps have been taken to remove any fire and explosion hazards. The Ministry of the Environment has ordered the property owner and Sunrise Propane to immediately take control of site security and monitoring to ensure the community continues to be protected. The property owner has acknowledged the site release and has put in place site security.
The OFM investigation is ongoing. The investigative team follows a scientific, systematic and methodological investigative process. Given the number of items taken from the scene by investigators, the process of examining these items may take considerable time. At this time, there is no new information available on the OFM investigation.
OFM investigators were greatly assisted by the City of Toronto, Toronto Fire, Police and Emergency Medical Services, Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) and numerous provincial agencies during the scene examination.
