A woman was airlifted to a Toronto hospital with “serious” injuries following a fire at an apartment on Erie Street Tuesday morning, Collingwood’s deputy fire chief said.
“It was contained to one unit,” Dan Thurman said.
“We did a complete evacuation of the building.”
According to Thurman, the fire originated in the unit’s kitchen and is not considered suspicious at this time.
“[There’s] heavy smoke damage, water damage and fire damage within the kitchen,” he said. “The unit itself is heavily damaged.”
Thurman said the cause of the blaze and the cost of damages are unknown at this time.
