‘Slowly and Methodically’: Demo Underway at Burned-Out Bramotn House as Crews Search for 3 Unaccounted for Residents
Two adults died and four others were hospitalized after a fire severely damaged a Brampton home; three people remain missing as investigations continue.
- Peel police said two people died and four were hospitalized after a house fire in Brampton, Ont., early Thursday following multiple 911 calls around 2:15 a.m.
- With 11 people linked to the house, Mayor Patrick Brown said Thursday the absentee landlord began but did not finish converting the basement into a legal secondary basement unit.
- Brampton Fire Chief Andy Glynn said the roof spread and structural collapse limited fire crews' access, while police described a significant collapse hindering search efforts.
- Officials said throughout Thursday three people remained missing, including a child, and by Friday excavators and construction machinery were carefully pulling apart the house while crews fenced the site.
- The provincial fire marshal has been called in to investigate the blaze; investigators have not speculated on the cause while crews stabilize the house and adjacent homes were evacuated though residents were uninjured.
