Investigators at the site of Sunday's explosion at a Toronto propane facility aren't yet close to figuring out what caused the blast, the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal said Wednesday.

The OFM, one of six agencies investigating the blast site, only Wednesday began the phase of its investigation where it will approach the centre of the blast area, where the original explosion is thought to have occurred, said the OFM's Bryan Fischer.

“They've only just made their fire real entry to the scene,” Mr. Fischer said. “Before we can even address the cause, we need to find out where the explosion originated.”
