A fire at a Hamilton apartment building on the mountain has sent two people to hospital.

Firefighters had to be withdrawn after the home was deemed structurally unsafe.

Hamilton fire Chief Dave Cunliffe says his department was involved in 20 rope rescues from April to December last year.

Ontario's fire marshal's office said the fire Thursday morning on Lloyd Street started on the second floor and that the residence had no smoke detectors.

Two people and a firefighter were transported to hospital.

A 40-year-old man is in hospital in serious but stable condition after a fire broke out at a residential property in Glanbrook on Friday morning.

Investigators say damage to the property is estimated to be around $100,000.

Firefighters say the cause of the Sunday afternoon fire appears to be electrical.

Police closed off the parkway for several hours on Saturday night for an investigation.

A man in his 40s was extricated by the Hamilton Fire Department.
