Late Monday night, a massive fire devastated four newly constructed, vacant townhouses in Markham, causing damages estimated at over $5 million. Fire crews faced immediate challenges as the structures were fully engulfed by the time they arrived, leading to a defensive strategy to protect surrounding buildings. While they managed to save 18 other units under construction, the fire, possibly fueled by propane cylinders, also caused damage to a nearby church yet resulted in no injuries. Witnesses observed the flames from their homes, highlighting the blaze's intensity and the concerns for nearby residences.
The fire broke out in a block of townhouses on Old Kennedy Road near Aldergrove Drive, resulting in over $5 million in damages.
By the time firefighters arrived, the four townhouses were fully engulfed in flames, leading them to take a defensive posture to protect adjacent buildings.
