Toronto Fire Service personnel have battled an early morning fire on a bitterly cold Saturday. The four-alarm blaze in a neighbourhood apartment block at Shaw and Leeds Sts has left one occupant in critical condition. At around 6:15 a.m. fire crews responded to a fire at the three-storey building at 828 Shaw north of Bloor Street. The stubborn fire spread quickly and required all the manpower and equipment the service had at hand.
