Etobicoke Autobody fire

Lessons from the Etobicoke Fire

The smoke over Tupper Avenue this morning (Feb 11, 2026) is a reminder that an auto body shop can go from "business as usual" to a total loss in minutes. When chemicals, welding sparks, and fuel mix, your only defense is the equipment you have on hand before the fire department arrives.

"Heavy flames were seen through the roof... one firefighter injured... the shop was packed with flammable materials."

Is Your Shop a "Tinderbox"?

Most commercial garage fires are preventable. However, having "an extinguisher" isn't enough—you need the right class of protection for chemical and electrical blazes.

Designed for paint thinners, gasoline, and solvents. A must-have for spray booths.

Class C: Electrical

Non-conductive agents for motor fires and power tool malfunctions.

Heavy-Duty ABC

The all-purpose workhorse for wood, paper, and general shop debris.
