On January 6, 2025, a two-alarm fire broke out at 1787 Drew Road in Mississauga, near Toronto Pearson International Airport. The fire, which originated in a single-story commercial property, sent thick smoke billowing into the sky. Firefighters responded quickly to the scene, but as the fire progressed, the building’s structure began to collapse. Fire crews were forced to retreat initially to ensure their safety, and efforts shifted towards protecting neighboring properties from the blaze.

The fire is expected to cause significant property damage. While the exact cause remains under investigation, officials estimate the financial loss from the fire could easily exceed $1 million. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, and the situation remains under control, although fire crews are expected to remain at the scene for several hours.

Police have advised drivers to avoid the area, as both east and westbound lanes on Drew Road are closed due to the ongoing emergency operations. Traffic is being diverted through alternate routes.

The fire highlights the importance of early detection and rapid response in managing such large-scale incidents. Planck Vision Systems’ thermal imaging cameras are designed to assist in such situations, providing 24/7 monitoring of facilities and offering real-time data to identify anomalies before they escalate.

By deploying fixed mount or pan/tilt thermal cameras in strategic locations, large areas, like commercial properties, can be surveyed efficiently, potentially preventing devastating fires like this one. Early detection with Planck Vision Systems cameras would allow for timely intervention, significantly reducing the risk of extensive property damage and loss.
