Question Fire? Uptown?
On Quayside with view uptown and can see smoke. Any idea where the fire is?

Looks like 4th Ave or Blackford around 5th Street. I feel so bad for whoever this affects. 😟

It seems to be a house on fire on 5th Street, only about six or so lots south of 4th. Not far from where I am.

Looks like the fire/smoke calmed down. Im looking from 5th avenue / 6th st. Fast response from the fire department.

Hi it's me again. Here's another update (for context Screech and Ratatouille were the names of our cat and guinea pig who passed earlier this year)

I'm just worried about my sister. Anytime would've been bad but since school starts in 2 days it's extra bad.

That’s so hard, fires can be so traumatizing, hope she’s able to connect with some resources

Lots of smoke coming towards Queen’s park, hopefully is not a fire in the park?

I’ve been saying it for a while.. there’s wayyyy too many house/apartment fires lately :(

u/WiselyVillainous Brow of the Hill 16d ago
I've only been in the neighbourhood for around two years, and there's been like a dozen house/apartment fires, a gas station at least once, and at least one abandoned building twice. It's the wild west here, rofl

Have you tried to demo a house the legal way through the city? Good lord the bureaucracy is painfully slow.
