A veteran firefighter is in an intensive care unit with critical injuries after falling from a roof while battling a fire in a vacant building in Toronto’s downtown, early Saturday. Tory told CP24 that the firefighter who sustained serious injuries is Jim Warren, a captain and 36-year veteran of the fire service. Fire crews were called to the scene around 2 a.m. Saturday for the three-alarm fire in near the intersection of Shuter and Jarvis Sts. Pegg said the operation was particularly difficult because the building was abandoned and it was unclear whether anyone was inside. “Our first goal always is, and will always be, the rescue of people that may be trapped,” Pegg said.
