The union representing firefighters in Toronto reported Sunday that six of its firefighters have tested positive for COVID-19. The Toronto Professional Firefighters Association initially tweeted on Sunday that five members were known to be positive, but association president Frank Ramagnano later clarified to the Star that the total was six. “Currently we have six firefighters that have tested positive for COVID-19. The sixth positive test came in this morning. Beyond Toronto, the virus is also impacting fire departments elsewhere in the GTA — the Oakville Professional Firefighters Association tweeted that one of its members had tested positive for the virus, and a City of Mississauga spokesperson confirmed that a Mississauga firefighter had done the same.
