Three people were hospitalized — two with serious injuries — after a residential fire in Markham prompted multiple evacuations early Friday.
Emergency crews were called to Carlton Road and Kennedy Road around 6:46 a.m., where Carlton Road was closed in both directions at Chambery Crescent as firefighters worked to contain the blaze. York Regional Police (YRP) said all occupants of the home have now been accounted for.
Police later confirmed three occupants were transported to the hospital; one with minor injuries and two with serious injuries.
“Upon arrival at the scene, the fire was in advanced stages, and most family members in the home had self-evacuated, with one resident en route to the hospital,” a City of Markham spokesperson told CityNews.
“MFES was successful in locating and removing two additional residents from the third floor of the home, who were transported to Markham Stouffville Hospital.”
According to police, there is no indication the fire is suspicious, and the incident is being treated as a fire investigation, with inquiries directed to Markham Fire.
Carlton Road remains closed. More information is expected as the investigation progresses.
