Toronto City Hall has power restored by way of temporary generators (inset) and will be open for business Monday morning. The City announced the news Sunday about 1 p.m, The freakish electrical room fire on Thursday knocked out all service and leaves a big repair job still to do. But in the meantime, five large mobile generators have been wired together to provide reliable service. The City notes that crews worked throughout the weekend to run and connect cables to the temporary generators while repairs to the electrical system are carried out over the next several weeks. The building’s HVAC system was purged after power was restored and extensive air quality testing was carried out before reopening. There were no significant findings. The air quality in the building will continue to be closely monitored for carbon monoxide levels, while the generators are running. Toronto Fire Service has tested the fire and life safety system in the building, which is fully functioning.
