Toronto house explosion Explosion DE Deadly Scarborough house explosion Share your images via MyNews Police have identified the victim as 57-year-old Paul Zigomanis. One woman was also treated for an injury to her hand at the scene. The home was completely destroyed and at least 12 others have been damaged, Toronto Fire Services say. Photographs and videos from the scene show that nothing remains of the two-storey house. Debris has been scattered across the area, covering trees and neighbouring homes. One firefighter at the scene told CP24 that the scene resembled a "war zone." "It's completely demolished," Toronto Fire Services Division Commander Len Stadler said. "There's nothing standing." Toronto police Insp. David Vickers said the blast had caused "all kinds of damage" to surrounding properties. Toronto Fire Services say that there is a natural gas leak in the area and 17 nearby homes have been evacuated. Crews are working to shut off the leak. Toronto police says that Enbridge Gas is at the scene. Rescue workers have been forced to delay their search of the wreckage until the gas leak has stopped. Once the issue has been resolved, firefighters will be able to comb the debris and look for others who many have been injured in the explosion. "There is just a hole in the ground," Toronto fire Capt. Adrian Ratushniak told The Canadian Press. "But we'll be here all night until we have search every inch of this place," he added. No one has been reported missing, police say. The cause of the explosion has yet to be determined. An investigator from the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal is expected to travel from Sudbury to inspect the scene. Toronto Transit Commission buses are being used to shelter displaced residents. "We're securing the homes and doing the best we can to help with the residents here," Vickers said. Anyone with information about the explosion is being asked to contact the 42 Division of the Toronto police at 416-808-4202. ======================= School safety Severe Weather Warning http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=596128&playlistId=1.2336504&binId=1.815892&playlistPageNum=1&binPageNum=1 A severe weather warning has been issued for damaging and locally destructive winds, damaging winds, heavy rainfall and damaging surf for people in the Metropolitan, Hunter and Illawarra forecast districts.

Bush Fire Fire danger rating Managing the risks of bushfire The Department has conducted assessments of all NSW Government schools, TAFE colleges and campuses, and Office of Communities facilities and venues in bush fire prone areas to determine the level of risk for bushfire. Department facilities located in bushfire prone areas plan and prepare for the bushfire season. Our facilities monitor local conditions during the bushfire season, particularly when there is bushfire activity in the local area. Facilities in bushfire prone areas at an increased risk Department facilities that have been assessed at an increased risk are identified on a bushfire register. These facilities will have alternate arrangements in place if a catastrophic fire danger rating is issued for their location. Information on alternate arrangements in the event of bushfire is available for parents and carers from your school, college or campus, or sport and recreation venue.
