Firefighters turned out in force to extinguish a blaze at the Cardiff co-operative apartments building at 1460 Bayview Ave. on the southwest corner with Davisville Ave. Wednesday afternoon. There was concern that the single unit fire might spread to the rest of the building and a second alarm was rung. But in the end, the fire damage was confined to a second floor unit (smoke damage may be another thing). A resident on the first floor told The Bulldog that no one had been hurt. She did not know the cause but speculated that it was something like a pan or pot left on a stove. This is among the most common causes of house fires.
1 alarm? Why 5 fire trucks.
From what we understand, this was a residential call to a highrise building that was upgraded to a 2 alarm, then downgraded back to 1. Here are some examples of what alarm levels can represent https://localwiki.org/toronto/Toronto_Fire_Alarm_Levels. Thanks for reading the Bulldog, Gwen!
