"As Toronto's Fire Chief, my top priority is keeping Torontonians safe. Large numbers of individuals [had] gathered to attempt to melt the ice using flammable liquids, and open flames in an uncontrolled environment which results in an immediate threat to life."
"An aerial firetruck was deployed at 2:51 a.m. Wednesday to melt the ice and is still at the scene. The structure, which was 16 blocks high on Tuesday, remains very much intact with one side slowly melting as crews continue to douse it with water."
"On Monday, the rapper took to Instagram to share images of the glacial installation along with coordinates to its location and the caption: 'Release date inside.' A streamer who goes by Kishka appeared to have found a blue folder hidden within one of the ice blocks Tuesday afternoon, revealing the album is set to drop on May 15."
