Residents in mid-town Toronto in Deer Park and into the area east of Yonge are without lights or heating tonight and Toronto Hydro says it won’t be able to restore power until perhaps 6 a.m. The failure comes after a spectacular hydro vault fire on St. Clair Ave. w. near Deer Park Crescent west of Yonge Street. By mid-evening Monday the outage spanned from Kilbarry Road to Cottingham Street and Mount Pleasant Road to Walmer Road. Tonight its believed that five apartment buildings are without service; two are on St. Clair, two on Spadina Rd. and one on Avenue Road. Above, the president of the Tower-Hill East Tenants Association tells of the hardship of residents, many of whom are disabled.
