Fire investigators are trying to determine how a car caught fire in a locked garage Wednesday afternoon.
Karl Moussa, 18, his mother and brother were in their townhouse above the garage at Unit 208, 700 Osgoode Dr. when “there was an explosion. I wend downstairs,” Moussa said, “and the garage was full of smoke and fire.”
“There was no one in the garage. It was locked.”
