The fire broke out just before 9 a.m. at Tony's Auto Clinic in the
southwestern Ontario city.

Fire officials say an employee working on a gas tank had a problem with
the trouble light, which may have ignited the tank.

The ministry has been called in to investigate a possible toxic run-off.

Spokeswoman Kate Jordan says an officer has been collecting water
samples at different locations along a nearby river and making visual
observations.
