151 Front Street in Toronto Fire (TorIX and others)

FYI

There is a fire at 151 Front Street in Toronto, which is home to TorIX
as well as a variety of other network providers. Rumor is the fire may
have ORIGINated in the Peer1 suite.

Seems a bad weekend for fires given what happened in Seattle as well.

Peer1 confirms it on their status page:

They say power was cut to the whole building. A post on webhostingtalk
says only their suite and one below.

That's incorrect unless the rest of us are running on generators now. We are on the 7th floor. We are partially up, therefore clearly power was not entirely cut to the whole building. The "one below" may refer to their 7th floor suite, not sure.

BTW, we're glad to help out those affected in any way we can...feel free to contact me off-list.

Yeah, I didn't really believe their "whole building" claim; high rise
fires usually only result in specific floors/areas being cut and
alerting one above and one below. Since this seems to be a
fire-on-the-floor issue (aren't these relatively rare?) vs. utility
vault, I'd be very interested to know what kind of fire suppression was
in place and how effective it was.

As I check now they've redacted the whole building claim and are now
saying 7th and 8th floors.

I (http://www.Vex.Net/) am on the seventh floor and we never went down.
All my screen sessions are still up and running. I can't find any
evidence in the logs that we lost any connectivity at any point.
