Hamilton Paramedic Services Superintendent David Thompson says the children’s father was in stable condition when he was taken to hospital. Corrigan says 17 patrol officers, fire personnel and paramedics were among the first responders, and they were assisted by the force’s marine unit and a dive team from Peel Regional Police.
