The Ontario Fire Marshall and the OPP are investigating a blaze that began with an explosion.
A fire at a home on River Road West in Wasaga Beach is being considered suspicious.
Fire Chief Mike McWilliam says the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office and OPP will be arriving on scene Monday or Tuesday, weather permitting, to investigate.
McWilliam tells us fire crews were called to the property just after 3 P.M. on Saturday for an explosion.
He says the structure was on fire and it was confirmed that there was an explosion.
McWilliam adds that a man in his 30's was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
He says there is significant damage to the home and it may have to be written off.
