So sad. I hope they will be ok soon
Praying ๐ for you all.
Insurance will cover it.
They can pay their houses but they old pictures, memories nobody can pay.
@mother exactly..
i didn’t even have any money in the bank at the time and zero insurance
Chapters will be peeled
Ridiculous! Buildings like that need in-suite sprinklers and the attic design should be retrofitted with adequate fire walls.
Some foreigners don’t know about heat and fire…
Arenโt the insurance companyโs to find them accomadations?
Turn of your stove maybe
@D star Boi everyone has insurance
@Rupert Periwinkle thatโs not how living in an apartment works but okay
@D star Boi Ever hear of renter’s insurance? lol
@Zach Clarke “of”? Really?
These cheaply made wooden frame buildings are a ticking time bomb why wasnโt it made with steel reinforced poured concrete?
These townhomes near Meadowvale are OLD. Houses are made poorly to save costs
@Rupert Periwinkle in Canada, you will pay 1 million dollar minimum for a home within Toronto and it will be comparable to a used beat up 1998 Honda civic.
@Hoodman educator I’m aware. I own a newer townhome from 2010. I bought for $295k
@Rupert Periwinkle you must be rich now. Bought a home in toronto last year for 850k. Got scammed by real estate agents because we paid 60k over price.
@Hoodman educator Not rich. Still live in the house. That sucks – how’d that happen?
Problems with townhouses and semi detached is that if something happens in one house, it will spread to the next one and the next one. Be careful. Sending prayers out to everyone. Stay strong
Not so much in newer townhomes. Not everyone xan afford detached homes, esp now with $1M+ pricetags.
@Rupert Periwinkle the concern here is not the price tag but the safety. All homes regardless of the price and size must have safety features that can stop the travelling of fire/fumes from spreading. This is extremely tragic and i do not wish this upon anyone else.
@Hoodman educator Of course. I’m not contesting that. Just pointed out there’s a difference in safety features between older and newer townhomes. All homes should have standard upgraded safety features.
It depends…when the housing was constructed, and the ferocity of the flames.
Those townhomes are OLD
Nobody at work? Lol
A fire in a pit?!
Mississauga? This feels like Brampton ๐
You could go home?
LOL at the female fire Captain ๐ฅ
It will be three years at a minimum before return to the homes.
Very sorry.
