The dramatic videos below were shot by Jeremy Cohn and Andrew Collins at 86 Forest Heights Blvd. early Sunday where a large home under construction was destroyed by fire. The palatial structure was gutted and fire officials estimate damage to be in the range of $8 to $10 million.

Oh my… orenwolf that is the most ignorant comment you can make. I can only hope you learn not to pass judgment when you don’t know details. As Richard said, the owners have put their heart and soul into building this home and years of hard work. 🙁 The size and magnitude of this disaster is well underestimated.
So, when the fire chief of Toronto says “Everything is under investigation, including Accidental and Intentional”, do you call him “ignorant” and “absurd”, too?
I made the comment immediately after hearing on the news that “Officials have not ruled out arson as the cause”. I’m sorry that you may have put a lot of work and effort into the project, but it’s very un-Canadian of you to attack someone who repeats the comments that the investigators themselves are making about the possibility that the fire was intentionally set.

What an absurd and ignorant comment. Our office designed this home and the owner put three years of hard work into this project … look for a better medium to channel your issues.
Under Construction you say? Interesting timing. Did someone need a tax write-off in 2017?
