Fire rips through 150 year old Yorkville building

84 Yorkville
A fire has ripped through a 150 year-old building at 84 Yorkville Ave. It has been declared a three-alarm emergency following a report by the security company that summoned firefighters about 8.30 a.m. There is much heroic coverage on CP24.  There is a bizarre late in a tweet from TFD that police have arrested a man for attacking a firefighter..It is not known if there is any historic value to the old building, which would seem to have been damaged beyond repair. It will have been part of the original Yorkville Village before amalgamation and perhaps a haunt for the alternative lifestyle people who lived and patronized Yorkville during the 1960s.
