THUNDER BAY -- Thunder Bay Fire Rescue responded on Sunday night to what appears to have been an explosion at a Frederica Street residence.
Thunder Bay Police have blocked off a section of the Westfort street east of Edward Street while the investigation takes place.
A large section of the home's brick facade has fallen off the building and neighbours on social media are reporting hearing a loud bang. A witness on scene said firefighters quickly put out a small fire.
Police have asked the public to avoid the area.
