Last Updated Friday, March 12, 2021 1:27PM EST Ontario’s Fire Marshal has determined there were no working smoke alarms in the tragic house fire that killed four people, including a seven-year-old boy, in Toronto’s east-end earlier this year. The Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) and Toronto Fire Services have determined that the January fire at 95 Gainsborough Road, near Coxwell Avenue and Eastwood Road, was caused by an electrical failure in the dining room ceiling. “The investigation that was jointly conducted by Toronto Police, the Office of the Chief Coroner, the Office of the Fire Marshal and Toronto Fire has concluded that there were no working smoke alarms in that house at the time of this fire and without a doubt that absolutely played a significant role in this tragedy,” Acting Toronto Fire Chief Jim Jessop told CP24.
