The finding prompted an urgent stop‑use advisory for NTI FTG 2000 units.

Overview

  • Regina Fire, which released its findings Wednesday, said a delayed ignition inside an NTI FTG 2000 commercial boiler caused an internal explosion that broke venting and let carbon monoxide enter the building.
  • The boiler maker issued a notice for all FTG 2000 models that told owners to shut the units down and order upgrade parts before resuming use.
  • Regina Police are running a criminal investigation supported by the fire service, with no further details released at this stage.
  • Henry Losco, 11, died on Dec. 19, 2025 after the leak in a downtown Regina apartment, and his father was found unconscious and later recovered in hospital.
  • Fire officials confirmed a building carbon monoxide alarm sounded, and they briefed Henry’s parents before the announcement as the family alleges criminal negligence and seeks accountability.
