A devastating fire at 12 Banas Way in Brampton, Ontario, on November 20 at 2:15 AM claimed the lives of multiple Indian nationals, including three women and a young child. A pregnant woman who escaped by jumping from a window survived with serious injuries, but her unborn baby died following emergency surgery. The Consulate General of India in Toronto expressed condolences and is providing assistance to affected families. Four additional victims remain hospitalized, some in critical condition, though a five-year-old boy is recovering well. Mayor Patrick Brown alleged the property belonged to an "absentee landlord" with prior compliance violations. Investigators haven't determined the fire's cause yet, focusing on managing victims and witnesses.
