A chemical reaction at an industrial fertilizer factory near Sheppard Avenue West and Highway 400 caused an unknown vapour cloud to be released into the atmosphere this morning, according to Toronto Fire, leaving orange-coloured smoke coursing through the air.
Emergency crews responded to the factory on Gail Grove around 10:50 a.m. Wednesday morning, and Highway 400 between Highway 401 and Finch Avenue was shut down in both directions shortly after.
