“Crews made an aggressive attack on the fire and a very quick, subsequent rescue,” said Robert Hewson, division commander with Toronto Fire. “Unfortunately, the occupant of the building succumbed to their injuries.”
Toronto Fire said the flames appeared to have been contained to the unit, where the blaze started. However, officials said it’s still too soon to say when evacuated residents will be able to return to their homes.
Crews are still in the ventilation process of the response, meaning it’s not yet safe for investigators to view the burned-out unit.
An investigation into the fire is ongoing. Toronto police and the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office are also involved.
