A Scarborough restaurant was left destroyed after a major fire broke out early Monday, bringing multiple Toronto Fire Services crews to the scene.
The emergency call came in at approximately 3:29 a.m., with firefighters dispatched to the Sheppard Avenue East and Brimley Road area.
When crews arrived, flames had spread throughout the building. The severity of the situation prompted a second-alarm response, with firefighters shifting to a defensive strategy to contain the blaze and keep it from reaching nearby structures.
By Monday morning, firefighters had brought most of the fire under control but continued working at the scene.
No injuries have been reported. Toronto Fire Services said a fire inspector, along with police, will investigate what sparked the blaze and determine how it started.
