Dude is lucky to be alive. Building is a bit of a fixer, I'd say

Photos from this morning. More to come on my photo thread.

First up, a closeup of the trailer fire I referenced earlier:

Presentation Centre

Rest of the site:

Just to demolish the trailer and sales centre right away

A month later (July 3rd) and here we are. What are we, Detroit, where burned out buildings are left to fall on their own? Come on, I know Conservatory group is history but someone owns the land. If they can't demolish it in a month, the city should tear down this eyesore and safety hazard and add the cost to the property tax. It's just going to attract the arsonists and vandals more than it already has.

I had a garage fall down from a tree while on vacation in Toronto. And this was exactly the note I got from the city. Clean it up by a certain time and or we will and add it to your property tax bill.

I didn't manage to get a picture, but when I drove by this site on September 16th, there was demolition equipment on site, and the fire-damaged structures appear to have been removed.

Better late than never!

As @Anastasia reported in mid September, the remains of the building are gone.
