(CBC)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The home is a semi-detached residence that is registered as a two-unit apartment, said Glynn, adding the adjacent unit&#8217;s occupants had self-evacuated with no damage inside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While it appears the fire may have started on the second floor of the home, Glynn said that would only be confirmed through an investigation by the Office of the Fire Marshall. That team is on its way to look into the incident, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He said the investigation will also look at whether the fire alarms in the home were working, but noted that crews did not hear any alarms when they arrived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There is heavy fire and smoke damage to the second floor of the home, said Glynn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A male senior is dead after a house fire in Brampton Wednesday evening, said Peel police.
