3 people hospitalized after fire breaks out in Mississauga

Peel paramedics say three people were transported to hospital following a residential fire in Mississauga early Wednesday morning.

Emergency crews responded to a call around 4 a.m. at a home on Mississauga Road between Lakeshore Boulevard and High Street.

Officials said firefighters arrived on scene and located a woman hanging from a second-story window above a cake shop. She was brought down by a ladder and treated for smoke inhalation.

Authorities said another woman and a child made it out of the residence and suffered minor smoke inhalation. All three were transported to a local hospital.

There’s no word yet on the cause of the fire and the investigation is ongoing.
