One person was hospitalized with minor injuries after a major house fire broke out in North York early Sunday morning.
Toronto Fire Services responded to 14 Bowerbank Drive in Newtonbrook shortly before 3 a.m. after receiving reports of flames coming from a residential property. Firefighters arrived to find the home heavily engulfed, with intense flames and thick smoke pouring from the roof.
Crews immediately launched an aggressive firefighting operation as the blaze was escalated to a second-alarm response. The fire spread throughout the residence, and firefighters spent several hours working to bring it under control.
One person was transported to hospital, where paramedics reported that their injuries were minor.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined and remains under investigation.
