Toronto has accepted the recommendations of the city’s ombudsman on certain emergency protocol. Fiona Crean filed a report on the services given to some 1,700 people displaced by a highrise fire at 200 Wellesley Street in 2010. According to Crean, poor communication at all levels cause massive confusion after the blaze and highlighted the need for clear guidelines on how to help residents. In total, 17 people including 5 children and 3 firefighters were hurt in the incident.
