"Fire crews are currently engaged in battling a significant 3-alarm blaze at a building in Etobicoke, which was formerly leased to the Toronto Humber Yacht Club. The fire was reported early in the morning, prompting a swift response from emergency services."
"Firefighters are employing relay pumping techniques to transport water from firetrucks to the blaze, as the building is located far from available hydrants. As of early morning, the majority of the fire has been successfully knocked down."
"The Toronto city council recently voted to terminate the month-to-month lease with the Toronto Humber Yacht Club, following years of environmental complaints from the community. Plans are being developed to explore alternative uses for the land occupied by the club."
A 3-alarm fire is being fought by fire crews at a building in Etobicoke that was previously leased to the Toronto Humber Yacht Club. The fire was reported around 4:50 a.m. near Humber Valley Road and Glenaden Avenue E. Firefighters are using relay pumping due to the distance from hydrants. By 6:34 a.m., the bulk of the fire had been extinguished. No injuries have been reported, and police are advising the public to use alternate routes. The yacht club faced years of community complaints before its lease was terminated.
