It is not clear at this time how the fire started.

A viewer from the scene said “there has been so much water used to douse this blaze that it looks like a small lake out front.”

 

The Town of Ajax sent out a tweet saying the fire was contained and that smoke and an odour were noticeable in the area.

Clements Road is closed as the investigation is ongoing.
