It started in the basement of a four-storey apartment building on Maple Boulevard and quickly spread up to the first and second floors.
It took 100 firefighters 30 minutes to get everyone out of the building; some residents were trapped on their balconies.
Four people were taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
