Toronto Fire Services say a woman is in life-threatening condition after she was pulled from a fire by firefighters at a home in Etobicoke early Thursday.

Firefighters were called to Brussel Street, near Park Lawn Road and The Queensway, at around 2 a.m. for a ‘very smoky fire’ at a three-level home.

A Toronto Fire spokesperson said crews found and rescued one occupant.

After performing life-saving measures the patient was transferred to paramedics, the spokesperson said.
