Emergency officials in Peel Region say two people are dead and four others are in hospital after a house fire in Brampton, Ont., early Thursday, as crews search for three people who remain unaccounted for.
Peel police said they responded to the scene near McLaughlin and Remembrance roads around 2:15 a.m. after several 911 calls reporting a fire. Multiple homes were evacuated, police said.
Police said two adults were pronounced dead while four others, including a child around four or five years old, were taken to hospital in critical condition.
After days of heavy flooding, drier conditions allowed the City of Abbotsford to reopen a major highway and lift evacuation alerts for more than 1,000 properties over the weekend, even as warnings were issued ahead of another round of rain.Flood waters in Abbotsford were receding gradually Sunday, with some areas seeing notable improvements, according to an update from the city. Water from the Nooksack River, which topped its banks just south of the U.S. border on Thursday, continues to flow north but at a decreasing rate.
