Toronto RCMP Building
The Toronto RCMP Building was the headquarters to the RCMP "O" Division detachment in Toronto. The unique glass front and brown sided building is located in the downtown core. The building featured a vault in the basement. The RCMP relocated in 1992 to London, Ontario and the building was later renovated to become the 177-suite Grand Hotel & Suites Toronto.
A 1-alarm fire occurred about 10:55pm on March 4, 2015. 10 fire trucks and two commands were sent to the building to fight the fire. The fire seems to have originated from the building sign. Falling debris has ignited a restaurant's roof under the sign. Police falsely reported the fire extinguished at approximately 11:40pm. At 12:16am, the fire was contained to the space between the A and the N on the sign. At 12:18am, no more visible signs of fire were present and suppression operations were halted. All clear reported at 12:35am.
The current "O" Division are divided into 4 sub-units in the Greater Toronto Area:
- Toronto West - Milton
- Toronto North - Newmarket
- Toronto East - Bowmanville
- Toronto Airport - Etobicoke
