多倫多皮爾遜國際機場今(17)夜發生火警，令國際和轉機航班大受影響，今夜和明早需要乘搭班機的朋友請先留意航班情況才出發往機場。
皮爾區警方在17日的下午6:30在機場的一號客運大樓 (Terminal 1) 發現火警，消防員迅速撲滅火警。

不過一號機場的國際和美國的班機就全部取消。截至出稿(17日晚上11:00)為止，前往美國的航班仍未能起飛。同時機場亦為入境的旅客需要在停機坪等候感到歉意。
We will shortly commence screening for outbound international flights currently being held at Terminal 1, and we are working to release inbound passengers currently on the tarmac for processing shortly. All outbound U.S. flights from Terminal 1 are cancelled for this evening. https://t.co/rJ9Py8raOW

由於取消的航班眾多，相信今夜未必能完全疏導。故此明(18)日出發往機場的旅客，最好還是先檢查航機情況，才出發往機場為上策。
現場相片可見，雖然火警時濃煙密佈，幸而只有一名人士感到不適送往診治。不過皮爾區警方表示起火原因未明，需要進一步調查。
