A 65-year-old woman has died after a house fire in North York

A 65-year-old woman died after being pulled from a two-alarm fire in North York early Saturday.

Toronto fire crews were called to the home on Carney Road in the area of ​​Finch Avenue West and Bathurst Street around 6:30 a.m.

Acting Platoon Leader Godfrey Greaves said crews encountered heavy smoke and flames coming from the second floor of the home.

“They were also advised by people on scene that there was potentially an occupant on that second floor of the house. Crews can come in quickly and affect the rescue of a 65-year-old woman,” Greaves said.

Crews began performing CPR on the woman to revive her, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Greaves said there were five other people living in the home, all of whom got out before firefighters arrived.

“It is my understanding that (the fire) was concentrated in the room where we found the occupant and that will be the room we will focus our investigations on,” he said.

The cause, origin and circumstances of the fire are unknown. Asked if there were working smoke alarms in the home and if the fire was suspicious, Greaves said those would be part of the investigation.

Greaves said the Fire Marshal’s Office has been notified.
