One person is has died and another is in hospital after they were pulled from their basement apartment at 160 Bathurst St. near Richmond St. before dawn Monday. The fire moved quickly through the old buildings and finally reached the roof. The fire gutted the building where it started, including Corrado’s Barber Shop, which has been at the site for over 50 years. “From 17 to 72, I never stopped working a day,” Owner Corrado Accaputo told CP24 at the scene. It is said Mr. Accaputo was visibly shaken and was told to go home because there was nothing he could do at the scene.
