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.

All non-essential shops will be able to reopen to the public from Monday while pubs and restaurants will be able to serve food and drink to customers outdoors. At the Roslin Beach Hotel, in Thorpe Bay, it is all hands on deck in preparation with a new outdoor terrace ready, while the Shoebury Hotel has a new terrace and space for 70 punters on its car park. But the move has left the pub industry divided with both Southend’s Last Post and the Dickens Pub in Southend forced to stay closed due to a lack of space.
