An elderly man has died after a late‑night house fire in a Brampton neighbourhood on Wednesday.
Emergency crews were called to Royal Salisbury Way around 11 p.m. for reports of a residential blaze. Firefighters entered the semi‑detached home and located one man inside. Life‑saving measures were performed, but he was pronounced dead on scene, officials said.
His exact age has not been confirmed, but fire officials described him as elderly. No one else was inside the home at the time, and no additional injuries were reported.
Brampton Fire says the home is registered as a two‑unit apartment. The fire appears to have originated on the second floor, possibly in a bedroom. The man was also found on the second floor, but officials could not say whether he was located inside the bedroom.
The Ontario Fire Marshal has been notified and will investigate the alarms as part of its broader probe into the fatal fire.
Peel police have secured the scene as the investigation continues.
