Man critically injured in Parkdale house fire dies

By News Staff

A man in his 40s is dead after fire ripped through a Parkdale home on Sunday afternoon.

Fire crews were called to a three story semi-detached building in the area of King Street and Elmgrove Avenue near Dufferin just after 2:30 p.m.

The fire was quickly extinguished but one person was pulled from the home in critical condition.

Paramedics performed CPR on the man before he was taken to a nearby trauma centre, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

Several neighbouring homes had to be evacuated due to smoke in the area.

The Ontario Fire Marshals office has been called in to investigate.
