Toronto firefighters battled a “difficult” three-alarm blaze at a townhouse complex near Downsview Park in North York on Saturday.
Emergency crews were called to the area of Downsview Park Boulevard and Keele Street shortly before 10 a.m.
Officials said the fire originated in the roof of townhomes under construction.
Fire Chief Matthew Pegg said crews arrived on scene to find heavy smoke and flames.

Pegg said there was a lot of damage to affected units and added that he expected firefighters to remain on scene for several hours.
