Feb. 18, 2014, Toronto – An explosion at a Toronto chemical plant has sent a worker to hospital with burns to his lower legs.
Toronto fire crews arrived on the scene Sunday morning to find a man covered in a black substance after a 30-litre container exploded.
The worker was put through a decontamination station to remove the chemical before being rushed to hospital.
Fire crews were on the scene to ensure seven other employees at the east-end facility are safe, and a city transit bus was called in to give them shelter.
The Ontario Fire Marshal's office has been notified of the incident.
