Sgt. Tyler Bell says no updates will be released about the missing people until after the search by emergency officials is completed.

The deadly blaze broke out early Thursday morning in the area of McLaughlin and Remembrance roads and required multiple homes to be evacuated. 

Police said Thursday that two adults were pronounced dead at the scene, while four others, including a child around four or five years old, were taken to hospital in critical condition. 

By Friday, one injured adult was in critical condition and the others were reportedly stable. 

Eleven people were said to be living in the house, including nine family members and two people in a secondary basement unit. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 23, 2025.
