Police say that nearby businesses are being evacuated due to a fire at an equipment rental facility in Etobicoke that has resulted in the explosion of multiple propane tanks.

The three-alarm fire was first reported at around 3:40 p.m. at a business near Racine Road and Brydon Drive, which is in the vicinity of Kipling Avenue and Rexdale Boulevard.

Toronto Fire says that there are approximately 40 propane tanks at the scene and that all units are being advised to battle the blaze from a defensive position as a precaution. “This is a very active scene.
