An incident involving hazardous material caused the evacuation of a residential building in Malton on Saturday night, officials said.
Mississauga Fire said crews initially responded to a medical call at a six-story building in the Morning Star and Goreway area driving just before 10 p.m.
Initially, three people had difficulty breathing, but when they arrived, more residents said they were experiencing similar symptoms, Mississauga Fire said, causing a complete reaction to the pollution.
