An electrical fire at two residential buildings is now under control in Thorncliffe Park, according to Toronto Fire Services. The fire is affecting electrical power at 11 Thorncliffe Park Dr. and 21 Overlea Blvd., two buildings that are connected, according to Alex Vashkevich, a public information officer at Toronto Fire Services. An electrical panel was smouldering and the fire spread into the walls of the basement level where electrical panels are housed for both buildings.
The time it takes to respond to the Scarborough Bluffs has literally been cut three quarters with the new fire boat. It provides the Toronto Fire Services the ability to get to all areas of the lake, all areas of the island that were never accessible, and in a much quicker time than we ever had before.
