Fire has destroyed an unoccupied house undergoing restoration at 173 Stibbard Ave. just off Mt. Pleasant. Rd. The blaze shocked neighbors and the couple living at 171 fled for their lives as flames licked at their home. The family cat was left behind and a Toronto Fire hero ran in to bring it out. Water damage will force the man and wife into a hotel while their pet enjoys the hospitality of a neighbor. A woman opposite on Stibbard said she and her husband were terrified by the spectacle of the flames. This morning, the charred hulk of the gutted renovation is flooded with bright sunlight revealing even small details of the damage. A new home under construction at 175 was also burned but the owner of Sherwood Homes says he feels lucky to have escaped with no greater damage. The raging blaze that met firefighters caused the closure of Mt. Pleasant Rd. between Blythwood Rd. and Sheldrake Blvd. for a few hours.

  1. hi, This was not a reno. It was a brand new home under construction in its final stages of completion.
