One man has been taken to hospital in life-threatening condition after a two-alarm fire on the sixth floor of a Parkdale apartment building.<\/p>\n
Emergency crews were called to King Street West and Jameson\u00a0Avenue around 6:30 Monday evening for reports of smoke.<\/p>\n
When Toronto Fire crews arrived they found black smoke coming out of the windows on the sixth floor of the building.<\/p>\n
One man was removed from a bachelor unit on that floor and taken to hospital in life-threatening condition. Another person was transported to hospital with minor injuries.<\/p>\n
The apartment sustained “fairly extensive damage” from the fire, said Platoon Chief Kevin Shaw, adding he estimated the damage to be around $40,000.<\/p>\n
The fire is now out, and the\u00a0intersection of King Street West and Jameson Avenue, which had been closed, is now open.<\/p>\n
