"Investigators are taking apart a Brampton residence in search of three people still unaccounted for Friday, after a fire on Thursday that killed two adults and injured a five-year-old. Carrie Clark, Ontario's deputy fire marshal, said crews are working carefully to take down the building to look for the missing people and anything that could lead investigators to the cause of the fire."
"The fire happened in a residence early Thursday morning. The building housed a multigenerational family of nine, as well as two others in a basement unit, according to police. Two adults died at the scene and four people, including a five-year-old, were taken to hospital in critical condition. The child and two of the adults injured are stable, but one adult man is in critical condition, Peel police acting Sgt. Tyler Bell-Morena said on Friday."
"Our concern is that there are three people outstanding who are inside the residence, Bell-Morena said. The three people are believed to be part of the family that lived in the home and one of them is believed to be a child, police said on Thursday. In a statement Thursday, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown said the home had a history of compliance issues, and that the city issued multiple orders about fire and safety requirements."
A residential fire in Brampton early Thursday resulted in two deaths and multiple injuries, including a critically injured five-year-old. The building housed a multigenerational family of nine plus two people in a basement unit. Four people were taken to hospital; one adult remained in critical condition while others were stable. Three occupants remained unaccounted for and are believed to include at least one child. Investigators are methodically taking down the structure to search for the missing people and potential evidence. The city previously issued multiple orders about fire and safety compliance for the home. No determination has been made about whether the fire is suspicious, and no demolition timeline is set.
