Resident Suffers Serious Burns in Downtown Milton Garage Fire

A garage fire at a Bell Street home on Tuesday evening left two people with serious burn injuries.

Milton Fire and Rescue Services were called to the residence, located in the west end of downtown Milton, shortly before 5 p.m. Crews arrived to find a detached garage fully engulfed in flames.

Fire Chief Peter Gatto said firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the blaze, preventing it from spreading to the nearby home. However, a woman sustained severe burn injuries, believed to involve her face, arms, and torso. A man was also seriously injured in the fire.

Six fire trucks responded to the scene.

Preliminary damage is estimated at approximately $150,000. A fire investigator attended the scene to determine the cause, and the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal was notified due to the severity of the injuries.

Halton Regional Police closed a portion of Bell Street, south of Elmwood Crescent, while emergency crews worked to control the fire.
