January 21, 2011 - 2nd Alarm - 500 Keele St.
January 21, 2011 - 3:47am - West Command - "B" Shift
Responding to this Junction area scrap dealer, TFS crews found a warehouse and workshop well involved in an area situated directly over Keele St., but 20' above the roadway which descends under a set of railway tracks. The tracks bordered the north side and several industrial buildings located on Vine Avenue prevented access from the south. Long lays were needed to get streams on the building, and crews were soon pulled from it as the roof collapsed, followed by portions of the walls. A421 set up on Keele St. to throw their master stream into the complex while A423 used theirs from north of the tracks. Most of the old building was destroyed but the fire was prevented from extending to nearby vehicles and structures. The cause of the $100,000 incident is under investigation. © GTMAA Trumpet
