"Toronto Fire Services reported that a fire reignited in the Thorncliffe Park area, with 88 fire trucks dispatched to the scene. Fire Chief Jim Jessop confirmed that no injuries occurred and residents are safe in their homes."
"The fire started during repair work in a seventh-floor unit when sparks from a saw ignited flammable particle board placed between concrete walls. This material had previously caused a significant fire in late 2025."
"Last year's fire at the same location resulted in the evacuation of 408 units, with residents gradually allowed to return home after the blaze was extinguished on December 15."
A fire has reignited between two highrise towers in Thorncliffe Park, Toronto, with no timeline for extinguishment. Fire crews responded to the incident on Monday, and as of Tuesday morning, 88 fire trucks were dispatched. No injuries have been reported, and residents are not evacuated as it remains safe for them to stay. The fire began during repair work on a seventh-floor unit, where sparks from a saw ignited flammable material between the walls, similar to a previous fire that displaced hundreds of residents last year.
