Fire crews battled two different residential fires on Wednesday morning.
The first fire broke out around 4:40 a.m. at home on Saddlecreek Court near Highway 407 and McLaughlin Road South, a Peel Regional Police spokesperson told INsauga.com.
The home and neighbouring houses were evacuated, police said. No injuries were reported.
Initially, police told news outlets the fire was being investigated as a possible arson, but it appears that is no longer the case.
The second fire broke out at a large luxury home at 10 Merrydale Court.
A Peel Regional Police spokesperson told INsauga.com emergency crews responded at approximately 7:09 a.m.
Brampton Fire and Emergency Services said the fire had been extinguished and primary and secondary searches were completed as of 8:30 a.m.
No injuries were reported, and no one was inside the residence at the time of the fire, police said.
Photos from the scene show extensive damage to the home.
There was no access to Merrydale Court on Wednesday morning.
The gated estate home sold for $5 million in May 2023, and was listed for sale this January for $3,299,000, according to HouseSigma data. The listing was terminated on Feb. 5.
The five-bedroom home had five fireplaces, four bathrooms, a private tennis court, an in-ground pool and a finished basement with a second kitchen.
