1 man unaccounted for, 3 injured in Oshawa house fire

Oshawa fire says one person has been pulled from an early morning housefire and treated by paramedics, but the extent of their injuries hasn’t been confirmed.

One person is unaccounted for following a fire that destroyed a home in Oshawa on Tuesday morning, Durham Regional Police say.

It happened near Bloor Street East and Simcoe Street at around 4 a.m.

Police said three men were transported to hospital with minor injuries and three other adults escaped without injury.

A seventh occupant of the home is currently unaccounted for, Const. Nicholas Gluckstein told reporters on Tuesday afternoon.

“It does not mean he was in the home. He could be anywhere,” Gluckstein said.

It is unclear where the fire started inside the home.

Police have not said whether the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) will be investigating the incident.

“We have nothing to indicate whether it is suspicious or not,” Gluckstein added.
