Fire breaks out at Scotiabank Arena during Game 1.
Fire department on scene after a fire breaks out during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
A bizarre situation is preventing fans who paid hard earned money for playoff tickets from getting to their seats.
According to a report from National Hockey League insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, a fire has broken out at Scotiabank Arena during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators. Pagnotta reports that the fire has broken out in the 300 section of the arena and as a result that part of the concourse has been shut down, preventing fans with tickets in that section from getting to their seats.
The good news here is that the fire appears to have been handled by the fire department, with Pagnotta reporting that fans should be able to get to their seats in relatively short order.
A truly unusual scene and at the worst possible time for the fans who purchased those tickets, but the most important thing is that every precaution is taken to make sure no one is harmed as a result of this situation.
