Police and fire crews were called to a plaza near the area of Dundas and Hurontario streets at 7:30 a.m. after reports of a fire.

Authorities said 50 residents living in the building across the street of the explosion were told to leave. There’s no timeline when those people are allowed to return home.
The Ontario Fire Marshal and Mississauga Fire said earlier this week that they have yet to determine the cause of the explosion, but Peel police said there is currently nothing criminal with the investigation.
