The garage bay door at the Beach fire station on Queen Street East has been destroyed for the second time in three years.

However, this time it does not appear to be a case of alleged criminal activity. Back in February of 2022, a woman was charged in connection with an incident that saw a fire truck stolen from the station and driven through the bay doors early one morning.

This time around, residents made Beach Metro Community News aware that the same set of bay doors on Station 227’s west side were damaged once again in an apparent incident on Wednesday, Jan. 29, involving a Toronto Fire Services vehicle. There also appeared to be damaged brick work above the doors.

“The City of Toronto can confirm an incident involving a Toronto Fire Services vehicle occurred at Fire Station 227, resulting in damage to the property. No one was injured. Toronto Fire Services is taking immediate action to assess and repair the damage as quickly as possible. There are no disruptions to service delivery in the area as a result of this incident,” said City of Toronto Media Relations in a statement sent to Beach Metro Community News.
