THE LATEST: Firefighters knock down smoky three-alarm fire near Queen and Bathurst
A smoky three-alarm fire that broke out shortly before 6:30 a.m. at a three-storey residential/commercial property at 559 Queen St. W. is now out.
Shortly before 10 a.m., Deputy Fire Chief Jim Jessop told CP24 that the fire, which spread to a second adjoining building, impacted a totoal of five units causing "significant fire and water damage." There are no reports of injuries, TFS said in a tweet. Crews did however rescue three people from the roof of one of the buildings.
"The women and men did a fantastic job of containing the fire especially in these older buildings downtown," he said, noting many older buildings in the downtown core have common attics and basements and no firestopping measures. "We really want to thank the citizens today for their patience with the interruption of TTC service during the morning rush. And our goal right now is to make sure that we have the TTC available, certainly for the afternoon rush," he said.
