Toronto fire crews responded to a two-alarm blaze, as several propane cylinders ruptured atop a building in the downtown core on Friday night.
Toronto police say they were called about reports of a fire on the roof of a building under construction at 296 Richmond Street West near John Street around 6 p.m.
Video sent to CityNews shows plumes of smoke and at least one explosion on the rooftop of a building on Richmond Street.
Other videos posted to social media show a fire burning on the rooftop of a building.
“Information received that items are possibly exploding and debris may be falling onto the street below,” police said in a social media post.

Don’t call ICE, Mayor Chow - we can’t be bothered.
Why are propane tanks on top of a building?

fire on the roof of a building under construction
“Why are propane tanks on top of a building?”
Maybe for the roofing tar kettle or for the torches used to “weld” seams of rubber/vinyl roofing materials.
Thanks!
Dang dangerous work!
Accidentally on purpose.
Welding jobs result in far too many ‘accidental’ fires on construction sites... It’s not an accident... It’s incompetence.
The Mayor of Toronto potentially contacting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would be an unusual and complex administrative scenario. Municipal leadership typically does not engage directly with federal immigration enforcement agencies, especially across international borders. Such an interaction would raise significant questions about jurisdictional boundaries, legal protocols, and intergovernmental communication procedures between Canadian and American authorities.
