Yesterday Toronto Fire Service crews responded to a 3rd Alarm residential fire near Woodbine & Queen St E, affecting multiple homes. Firefighters worked quickly to bring the situation under control.

One person was taken to the hospital with injuries. Fire crews remain on-site for firewatch, and an investigation is underway to determine the cause.

On Sunday, October 6, 2024, we gathered at the Ontario Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial to pay tribute to the brave souls who gave their lives in service to our communities. Designed by Siggy Puchta and unveiled in 2005, this powerful memorial stands as a reminder of the courage and sacrifice of our firefighters, depicting a firefighter rescuing a child. With a red Maltese Cross-shaped plinth, it bears the names of those who fell on duty.

We came together on the northeast corner of Queen’s Park to remember and honour their bravery, heroism, and unwavering dedication. Their legacy lives on in the hearts of all who attended.
