"Toronto fire crews are expected to continue batting a complex fire in Thorncliffe Park into next week, according to the city. In a statement Tuesday, the city said Toronto Fire Services is still working on a fire at two connected condos at 11 Thorncliffe Park Dr. and 21 Overlea Blvd. The fire was discovered last Thursday, when insulation was found to be burning in between the walls of buildings. The fire has displaced residents in the buildings and many are now staying in hotel rooms while they wait to be told when they can return."
""As firefighting efforts remain ongoing, we anticipate a phased approach will be required for residents to safely return to occupying their units. As the fire is still active, we do not yet have a timeline for this yet," the city said in the statement. The city said residents are required to work with their insurance providers to determine what supports are available to them. The city said it will work with property owners and tenants "with extenuating circumstances." On Monday, the Canadian Red Cross said it is supporting 141 households, consisting of 293 residents with 117 hotel rooms, as firefighting efforts continue."
Toronto Fire Services continues to battle a complex fire affecting two connected condominiums at 11 Thorncliffe Park Dr. and 21 Overlea Blvd. The fire was discovered last Thursday when insulation was burning between the walls of the buildings. The incident has displaced residents, and many are currently staying in hotel rooms while awaiting clearance to return. Firefighting efforts remain active and a phased approach will be required for safe re-occupation; no timeline has been set. Residents must work with their insurance providers for available supports, and the city will assist those with extenuating circumstances. The Canadian Red Cross is supporting 141 households (293 residents) with 117 hotel rooms. A status update is expected Wednesday afternoon.
