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.
