News Where You Are: Avenue & Eglinton
Broken gas main in Toronto, corner of Avenue & Eglinton.
Our boys in blue and our boys in rubber are on the scene. Traffic is shut down in all directions for several blocks, with cops redirecting. The smell of gas in the area is strong in the area, but there’s a heavy wind, so it is unlikely to harm anyone.
Everything is under control, and I’ve never seen such a calm bunch as the fire fighters on the scene. That said, the corner is home to a large Petro Canada station, which has cut power to their pumps and is all but evacuated.
Should be cleared up shortly. At least, I hope so, seeing as I’m less than a block away from the ’splody-ness.
