Baby girl dies in Toronto house fire, young woman in critical condition

Toronto Fire Services said on Friday that a 5-month old baby girl has died and a 19-year-old woman is in critical condition following a house fire overnight. Deputy Fire Chief Jim Jessop said firefighters were called to a home on Trethewey Drive, near Eglinton Avenue and Keele Street, where the bulk of the fire was at the back of the house. Following a primary search, Jessop said both an infant and a young woman were rescued. They were given to paramedics who rushed them to hospital. The baby did not survive and died, Jessop said, adding the woman is still in critical condition in hospital. “I want to extend our deepest condolences to all of those who have been impacted by this extremely tragic fire — especially involving a young child,” Jessop told reporters at the scene on Friday morning.
