Toronto police probe Etobicoke blaze after vehicle crash Fireworks Toronto
Toronto police are investigating after a vehicle drove into a fireworks store in Etobicoke and sparked a fire early Monday, with fireworks toronto unfolding near Albion Road and Highway 27 shortly before 1:00 a.m.
The vehicle and the store both caught fire. When crews arrived, the building was fully engulfed in flames, and fireworks were going off as the blaze burned.
Albion Road and Highway 27
Police were called to the area shortly before 1:00 a.m. on Monday for reports of a vehicle driving into a store in a plaza. Crews extinguished the four alarm fire, and no injuries were reported.
No one was found inside the vehicle. That leaves the crash itself and the fire side by side in the same early-morning scene, with investigators now sorting out how the vehicle ended up inside the store and what led to the ignition.
Roads Blocked in Etobicoke
Roads in the area are blocked while the investigation continues. For anyone trying to reach the plaza or travel through the Albion Road and Highway 27 area, the practical next step is to stay clear until police reopen the roads.
The store was a fireworks store, and the fire sent fireworks going off before crews brought it under control. That detail sets this apart from a routine collision: the crash and the blaze became one event, and the road closure is now the immediate local consequence.
