While black background/brightly lettered signs on the city's roadsides aim to attract bargain hunters, the location and timing of a clearance sale announcement we discovered two nights ago may strike some as questionable—Wilson Avenue at Murray Road, directly south of the Sunrise Propane explosion site.

A series of huge explosions near Keele and Wilson at 3:50 a.m. this morning (skip to 1:50 in this video or 0:53 in this one for the most dramatic ones) were felt across Toronto, after a fire started at Sunrise Propane Industrial Gases at 54 Murray Road—a fire that is only now dying down. Since then, thousands of people have been evacuated, and the 401 has been closed, as have Downsview, Wilson, and Yorkdale TTC stations. Only minor injuries have been reported, but 680 News reports that fire officials told them one person is unaccounted for.
