One person was treated for serious injuries after several e-bikes caught fire in an underground parking garage overnight.
Toronto fire crews were called to 563 Eglinton Avenue West, just east of Spadina Road, at around 12:30 a.m. on Monday for reports of a three-alarm fire in an apartment building’s parking garage.
Officials told CityNews that when crews arrived, there was heavy smoke, and several e-bikes had caught fire. One apartment building tenant sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries from the smoke that migrated into the building.
The fire was contained and was put out.
Residents told 680News Radio that someone had been storing the e-bikes in the underground parking garage, though the reason is unclear.
The investigation is ongoing.
