Aug. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Thousands of north Toronto residents were told they would gradually be allowed to return to their homes last night, hours after being evacuated following a series of large explosions at a propane depot.
The explosions sent huge fireballs billowing into the early-morning sky yesterday, flames that could be seen as far as 30 kilometers (18 miles) away. One firefighter, identified as Bob Leek, 55, a district chief of emergency planning, died at the scene of the six-alarm blaze that followed the blasts. An employee of the depot operator, Sunrise Propane Industrial Gases, was missing last night.
