Donald Street fire: Some tenants return home [Video]

Three people, including two children, remain in critical condition after a devastating apartment fire in the Overbrook neighbourhood.

It happened at a high-rise building at 1244 Donald Street on Thursday morning.

Residents remain shaken after hundreds were temporarily displaced by the blaze. It’s not clear how many are still not able to go home.

For Emily Loo, it’s a tragedy that is difficult to talk about. She was able to return to her unit with her wife and cats after being temporarily displaced.

“There was just so much chaos. My best friend and I were trying to get everybody out and our fur babies and, we had tried going down one stairwell, and there was just so much smoke,” said Loo.

It’s a similar situation for the hundreds who live in the area.
