Massive Stoney Creek townhouse complex fire causes over $6M in damage

A devastating fire at a Stoney Creek townhouse complex Monday morning has caused over $6 million in estimated damages. Everyone was able to get out of the townhouses when the fire boke out. But residents say it was a “full blown panic.” Hamilton fire crews were at the scene of a townhouse at 23 Echovalley Dr. in Stoney Creek at just after 4 a.m. Hamilton Fire Chief Dave Cunliffe says first responders saw flames shooting out of the roof of one townhouse and upgraded the situation to a multiple alarm fire. “When crews were responding, very quickly they knew that this was going to be a big event,” said Cunliffe. “They had flames shooting out of the end unit of this multi-use residential property.” He said the fast-moving fire was driven by strong prevailing winds through the adjoining units to the east. “I was sleeping. I heard a bunch of people yelling. I looked outside ad there was flames in the corner,” says one resident.
