Toronto Fire says a three-alarm fire broke out at an abandoned building, which used to be the historic Peacock Hotel, in the Junction area Thursday morning.
Fire crews were called to area of Dundas Street West and Annette Street at about 3:20 a.m.
Fire Commander Dan MacIsaac said when firefighters arrived on scene there was fire coming out of the top two stories, approximately 12 windows, of the building.
Firefighters had to evacuate the inside of the building due to a possibility that the back of the building could collapse.
