2-alarm fire in East York sends 3 to hospital
Three people have been hospitalized for smoke inhalation after a two-alarm fire broke out at a multi-purpose building in East York on Wednesday morning. Toronto Fire Services were called to 834 Pape Avenue, south of Mortimer Avenue, just after 5 a.m. for reports of a fire at the building — a squat, two-storey building with a business on the bottom residential space above. Steve Darling, the acting deputy fire chief, said the blaze has been contained. "It's too early to tell what the cause of the fire is," he told reporters at an 11 a.m. news conference at the scene. Paramedics say the three adults who were hospitalized were located in a residence above the business. They were taken to hospital to be treated for minor smoke inhalation. Darling says crews will remain at the scene to check for hotspots.
