LONDON, ONT. —

“The studies point out that there have been some propane cylinders that did explode. So, smaller cylinders that we’re conscious of. Also it’s a store, an auto store, so there have been some automobiles we consider which have exploded as properly,” says Deputy Fire Chief Matt Hepditch.

Southwold Township and Strathroy-Caradoc tankers had been known as in to help.

“I used to be leaving from the place and we noticed the burning begin. I run to see what occurred and every part was on fireplace. We want to attend for the hearth division investigation,” says Harold Rodrigue, whose step-father owns the enterprise.
