No injuries have been reported after a massive fire broke out at an apartment building on Toronto Street Tuesday afternoon.
Flames could be seen shooting out of the roof of the three-storey structure in the 700 block of Toronto, as fire crews battled it using aerial trucks. Crews say they initially went inside to battle the blaze, but because conditions were so poor, they were forced to fight it from the outside.
