An 'out-of-control' six-alarm fire raged overnight filling Toronto skies with smoke Toronto TorontoFire
Six-alarm blazes are somewhat rare in Toronto, though there have been a few notable instances in recent years.
In 2008, a pair of six-alarm fires made headlines, including a fire near Queen and Bathurst that involved more than 150 respodnig firefighters, and, more notably, the Sunrise propane explosion that killed one and displaced thousands. In 2011, a six-alarm blaze tore through the historic Empress Hotel at 335 Yonge. The building was later demolished, and the site has since been used as an outdoor market.
A 2014 six-alarmer at Foamco near Dufferin Road and Eglinton Avenue West drew a response from at least 40 fire trucks and 120 firefighters. The most recent six-alarm fire occurred in 2019, when a blaze broke out at York Memorial Collegiate Institute.
