Toronto Fire Services says firefighters tackled a large house fire in the city’s Regent Park neighbourhood on Wednesday.
The 3-alarm residential fire broke out at around 6 a.m. at a home near Gerrard and River streets.
A Toronto fire spokesperson said crews arrived to a heavy fire with flames and smoke that spread to neighbouring homes.
The spokesperson said the fire spread from one semi-detached home to the other semi and then to a detached home beside it — damaging three homes in total.
There were no reports of injuries.
Toronto Fire said two people were rescued from the original home that caught on fire and were assessed at the scene but were not transported to hospital.
