Feb. 25, 2014, Cornwall, Ont. – Officials say a fire at a PCB reclamation plant in Cornwall, Ont., was sparked by an exploding light bulb.

Fire investigators say the high pressure bulb exploded Monday afternoon catching a cable paper wrap on fire.

Several nearby streets were closed for a few hours as a precaution.

One employee was treated by paramedics at the scene for smoke inhalation.
