The Ontario Fire Marshal's office says they are ready to leave the site of a massive propane blast last month, but the investigation itself is far from over.

According to a statement released on the fire marshal's website, investigators have gathered all the evidence from the site and will now focus on trying to determine the cause of the explosion at 54 Murray Rd. by investigators.

However, because of the large number of items taken from the site, the investigation is far from being over, said the FMO.

In the meantime, a Toronto city councillor has asked for an inquiry into the blast at the Sunrise Propane plant that forced more than 1,000 people from their homes in the early morning of August 10.

One person died as a result of the blast and a firefighter collapsed and died at the scene.

Coun. Mike Del Grande told CTV Toronto Monday that he will introduce several motions at council this week to deal with the aftermath of the explosion. He said he wants answers on how it happened and who should pay for the subsequent cleanup and investigation.

"This was world news and how do we treat it? Like a local issue," he said. "There are fundamental things that should be answered."

Mayor David Miller agreed that there are still a lot of unanswered questions but said an inquiry would work better once the FMO completes their investigation.

He said there should be a review on how these type of sites are regulated.

"The real question is when you have a provincial regulator that is privatized and is essentially allowing people to self-regulate, is that adequate oversight for Torontonians?

Maria Augimeri, the councillor who represents the affected neighbourhood, said she doesn't believe an inquiry is necessary.

"I don't think we'll find out anything we didn't know," she said. "It's very obvious that it's the province's fault," she said.

Del Grande is also suggesting adding a $1 levy to property taxes to collect a disaster relief fund to support residents and businesses that are forced out of their properties during extraordinary circumstances.

However, Augimeri said the province should handle disaster relief support as well as pay for the Sunrise Propane blast clean up.

"The city should sue the province for the over $2 million spent on the clean up because it wasn't our job to do so," she said.

The provincial government said it's not considering an inquiry right now but said a detailed safety review of similar sites are underway.

The city has launched a review of all areas that could pose a potential hazard to nearby homes in the wake of the explosion, to see if similar risks exist elsewhere in Toronto.

In the meantime, the fire marshal's office said they've taken all reasonable steps to remove any fire and explosion hazards from the property, and the owners have been instructed to provide security for the site, as per provincial regulations.
