Up to 13,000 Toronto residents are returning home after they were forced to flee a massive fire at a propane facility. A Toronto firefighter died near the scene of the blaze, and an employee at the plant is missing.

Bob Leek, a 25-year veteran firefighter, was surveying an area close to the fire at Sunrise Propane Industrial Gases when he died.

“Every effort was made to resuscitate him. However we do regret to inform everyone that we did lose one of our members today,” Division Chief David Sheen told reporters late Sunday afternoon.
