The fire broke out at a large vacant commercial building on CP Railway property, according to Mississauga Fire Chief Deryn Rizzi.
“Firefighters began with a defensive fire attack due to initial reports of exploding propane tanks within the building. A fire was located and quickly extinguished by responding firefighters,” said Rizzi.
There were no injuries.
Railway tracks in the area have since reopened.
