Toronto Highrise Fire Leaves Hundreds Without Homes Amid Uncertain Timeline

Fire crews are still on scene of a blaze in two connected apartment buildings in Thorncliffe Park but it's not extinguished yet. Residents of two Toronto apartment towers remain displaced after a stubborn and complex fire forced the evacuation of hundreds of units late last week. Fire crews have been battling the blaze at 11 Thorncliffe Park Drive and 21 Overlea Boulevard since Thursday, but officials say there is still no timeline for when residents will be able to return. The fire, described by Toronto Fire Chief Jim Jessop as one of the most complex incidents in the city’s history , has proven difficult to extinguish because it is burning inside insulation trapped between the walls of the two highrise buildings. At its peak, crews detected dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide , prompting the evacuation of all 378–408 units across the towers. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported.

Your lookahead horoscope: November 30, 2025

 

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS TODAY

Listen to what your inner voice tells you this year and don’t dismiss what it says merely because you fear it could bring you into conflict with family and friends if you follow it through. Most likely they will support you all the way.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

An unusual amount of cosmic activity in your fellow fire sign of Sagittarius makes this the ideal time to look further afield for your pleasures. If you feel run down and in need of a vacation don’t ask for permission, just take off for the sun.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

There is so much going on in the wealth area of your chart at the moment that money and material possessions will be at the forefront of your mind. If you make some extra cash over the next few days, tuck it away for a rainy day.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Relationships of all kinds are well starred at the moment, so if you need to get through to people you have not always seen eye-to-eye with now is the time to put that right. Make the first move toward reconciliation. It’s easy to say sorry.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

The more hard-working you are the more successful you seem to become. Well fancy that! Ignore those who say you have merely been fortunate and carry on with your current course of action. It is clearly a solid recipe for success.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

As Venus joins the sun and Mars in the most dynamic area of your chart you won’t have to push yourself too hard to make your mark. Your rivals may suspect that you are cheating but the fact is almost everything comes easy to you now.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

A family issue that has been bugging you for ages can now be resolved. With Venus, your ruler, moving into the domestic area of your chart it won’t be hard to get your head around what needs to be done. The solution is actually quite simple.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Stop dreaming about what you want to do and actually do it. The fact that you possess such a powerful imagination means you tend to chop and change your ideas from day to day, but now you must settle on one aim and really go for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The entry of Venus into the financial area of your chart will tempt you to start spending money like it is going out of fashion. Don’t! Other influences warn there are going to be a lot of expenses up ahead, so show some self-restraint.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Life is good and about to get even better and if you keep that fact in mind over the next few days there is almost nothing you cannot accomplish. This is still very much your time of year, so aim high and then go higher still.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You may be tempted to withdraw from the world and tend your own little patch and maybe that’s not a bad idea. Can you change what is going on around you? No you cannot, so ignore it and focus on what makes you personally feel good.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You can be a bit too intense at times and that could cause problems over the coming week if the people you interact with don’t want to take life so seriously. Maybe you should learn from them and not take life so seriously yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Keep your eyes and ears open over the next few days because there will be more than one opportunity to show off your skills. If someone in a position of authority asks you to take on a challenging task say “Yes”. It could be your big chance.
