A woman has been charged with arson following a three-alarm fire in the city’s east end on Wednesday morning. Crews were called to a fire at a row house near River and Gerrard streets at around 6 a.m. The blaze quickly escalated to a three-alarm response and firefighters worked to contain the flames from spreading to adjacent units.
On Thursday morning, Toronto police confirmed that investigators believe the fire was “deliberately set” and a woman has now been arrested in connection with the incident. Investigators said 41-year-old Jeannine Hilles, of no fixed address, has been charged with arson, endangering life, and failing to comply with a release order.“Investigators are asking anyone with dash-cam or surveillance footage of the area to contact police,” Toronto police said in a news release.The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.
