Waterloo house explosion sends man to hospital From CTV Kitchener’s Tina Yazdani: An explosion blew out the garage doors of a house on Grange Crescent sending one man to hospital.

One man was taken to hospital following an explosion in the garage of a home in Waterloo on Sunday.

Fire officials said that when they arrived to the home on Grange Crescent there was no fire.

The damage was contained mostly to the garage.

“We would like to remind everybody, if we can, to make sure they keep all pressurized gas cylinders outside. Propane tanks, butane tanks, everything should be stored outside,” said Colin Mickie, platoon chief with Waterloo Fire Rescue.

“This is fairly rare. It does happen.”

The Ontario Fire Marshall was called in and is assisting in the investigation.
