One person is dead, and five others are seriously injured after a fire broke out at a Toronto Community Housing highrise in Scarborough.

While Pegg said there were four other injured residents who needed to be hospitalized, Toronto paramedics told CP24 that they transported a total of five people.

"Far too early for us to tell. We won't speculate on that. That investigation will continue in due course," Pegg said. "The status of all of the occupants and the circumstances that lead and contributed to this tragic fatal fire will, of course, form part of the investigation," Pegg said.Pegg noted that the building was a subject of a routine fire code inspection last month.
