It could be “a number of days” before residents in a high-rise Toronto apartment will have power in their suites after a “significant” electrical fire, Toronto fire officials say.
Toronto police said the fire broke out at around 2:19 p.m., on Sunday at an apartment building in the Rusholme Road and Bloor Street West area.
The blaze quickly escalated to a fifth alarm which left 267 units in the building without power.
Toronto’s deputy fire chief Jim Jessop told reporters on Monday, the fire caused significant damage to the building’s electrical rooms but was contained and did not spread to the hallway.
Sean O'Shea has more.
