Arabnews24.ca:Monday 28 March 2022 07:39 AM: Three children and two adults were found dead after a fire ripped through a house in Brampton Monday morning.
Brampton Fire Chief Bill Boyes said emergency crews were called to a home in the area of Conestoga Drive and Sutter Avenue at approximately 2 a.m. for reports of a fire.
The three-alarm fire made for a "difficult entry" for crews upon arrival, Boyes said.
Boyes said a total of five people were found dead at the home — three children and two adults.
One person was able to get out of the house and was rushed to a trauma centre with serious injuries.
Peel Regional Police said two other adults were able to leave the house without physical injuries.
"This was a challenging fire on arrival. Firefighters were met with heavy smoke and flames," Boyes said. "Unfortunately, it has been a tragic outcome. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family."
Boyes noted that the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal will be investigating.
Conestoga Drive between Sandalwood Parkway East and Cranmore Court is closed, Peel police said.
