Firefighters immediately made entry into the house and advanced to the second floor to begin search and rescue and firefighting operations. While conducting search operations on the second floor, firefighters were alerted that there was an occupant of the house unaccounted for. Quickly firefighters found the unaccounted resident who had unfortunately succumbed to their injuries.
The fire was quickly brought under control. There was no one else was at home at the time of the fire. At this time on behalf of all the members of the Hamilton Fire Department
I would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family members and friends impacted by today’s fire. The Office of the Fire Marshal has been notified and is responding to assist the Hamilton Police Service with the investigation. A neighbour who had attempted to enter the home, a couple of times prior to the Fire Department’s arrival, was taken to hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation. No other injuries have been reported to firefighters or civilians. At this time damage to the home is estimated to be approximately $500,000.00.
