Crews rushed to the scene of a three-alarm fire on the shores of the Humber River early Wednesday morning to tackle a blaze that spread to nearby trees in Etobicoke.
Around 4:50 a.m., Toronto police said emergency services were called to the area of Humber Valley Road and Glenaden Avenue East to tackle a fire at the Toronto Humber Yacht Club.
