Two people were taken to hospital, including one in critical condition, following a fire on King Street East early Monday.
Emergency services were called to 537 King St. E., between Tisdale Street North and Steven Street, shortly before 1:30 a.m. for a structure fire, Hamilton Fire Chief Dave Cunliffe said in a news release.
The first crews that arrived reported smoke and fire from the first and second floors of the three-storey brick residence, which formerly housed
Rebel’s Rock Irish Pub.
Cunliffe said the fire was quickly brought under control and damages are estimated at around $25,000.
The Office of the Fire Marshall has been notified due to the severity of injuries.
