Two Fires Active This Morning, Fam
Okay but real talk—it's early out here, fam, and Toronto Fire Services is already dealing with two active alarm single source incidents as of 7:24 AM this morning, April 5, 2026. Both dispatches are recent, one at 7:11:48 AM and the second at 7:24:57 AM, according to active incident monitors. The locations are pending right now, which means crews are on route or just arrived. Stay safe out there, keep an eye out for updates on your local news channels, especially if you're commuting.
### What Council's Been Up To
Away from the immediate emergency, some interesting moves at City Hall recently.
* **Evictions and Race-Based Data:** On March 23, 2026, the Confronting Anti-Black Racism Advisory Committee voted on addressing evictions through disaggregated race-based data in social housing. It *carried* with a 7-3 vote, but Councillor Amber Morley voted no. This is big, because understanding who is disproportionately affected by evictions is crucial for finding real solutions in this city. * **Insurance Adjusting Services:** The General Government Committee also awarded a Request for Proposal (Doc5386487782) to ClaimsPro LP for insurance adjusting services on March 9, 2026. This passed 3-1, with Councillors Michael Thompson, Stephen Holyday, and Jon Burnside voting yes, and Lily Cheng marked absent. Always good to know where our tax dollars are going, especially for city services like this.
It's clear that while the city keeps moving, the folks at City Hall are tackling some heavy stuff, from social justice issues to the nitty-gritty of city contracts. We'll be watching to see how that race-based data initiative rolls out, especially with the housing crisis being what it is.
Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up.
Mornings with me, dude? You know the vibes. Catch the whole crew going in live at mornings.live.
