Ontario Provincial Police say a propane canister was intentionally lit on fire in Kapuskasing Tuesday night and exploded.
The Stewart Ave. incident is being treated as intimate partner violence, and a 30-year-old from Fauquier-Strickland has been charged.
Police and firefighters were called at about 6:00pm. The inside of the house caught fire, but the occupant was able to douse it before they arrived.
The suspect had left the scene and was located shortly after.

That person is charged with arson disregarding human life; causing an explosion likely to cause bodily harm, death or property damage; mischief over $5,000; and four counts of failing to comply with a probation order.
They’re in custody at least until a court appearance on Friday.
