A man is in critical condition after a two-alarm blaze broke out at a downtown hotel being used as a COVID-19 shelter for the homeless.
Emergency crews got the call at 4:20 a.m. Tuesday morning for a fire at the Hotel Victoria at 56 Yonge St., between Colborne and Wellington Sts.
“We got the call for the fire on the sixth floor and needed to remove one patient, who needed to be revived,” said Toronto District Fire Chief Stephan Powell.
“There were no other injuries.”
The injured man, believed to be in his 40s, is recovering in hospital.
No word yet on what caused the fire.
