An elderly woman is in hospital after being injured in a “cooking-related incident” in Etobicoke on Wednesday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to the area of Martin Grove Road and Waterbury Drive for reports of a house fire around 1:30 p.m.
Once on scene, firefighters discovered light smoke and there was no indication there was a fire. It appears there may have been a cooking-related incident.
Toronto Fire says someone in the neighbourhood called 911.
A woman in her 80s was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition.
It’s unclear if anyone else was in the house at the time of the incident.
“The lady lives alone. She was in the hospital a couple of times. Her son has been visiting. I thought she was in the nursing home, but I didn’t realize she was back home,” one neighbour tells CityNews.
Other neighbours say the home was recently sold, but the woman who lives there had not yet moved out.
