Toronto emergency crews responded to two fatal vehicle fires within hours of each other late Monday and early Tuesday, one in Scarborough and another in Etobicoke. Police said the first fire was reported near Reesor Road and Steeles Avenue in Scarborough at about 11:22 p.m. Monday. Fire crews and police found a body inside the vehicle. A second call came at 12:50 a.m. from James Gardens in Etobicoke, where responders said they found a vehicle burning after reports of an explosion and smoke in the park. A body was also found inside that vehicle. Toronto police said the causes of death are not yet known.
