## Resource

A devastating fire in Markham claimed three lives, sending shockwaves through the community as neighbors rushed to evacuate and support those displaced. Amid the chaos, locals rallied — offering clothes, shelter, and even organizing school fundraisers for affected children — while fire crews door-to-door urged everyone to install life-saving alarms. With many homes built before 1990 lacking required safety features, this tragedy underscores an urgent call to action before new fire codes take effect in 2026.
