Five people have been displaced after a two-alarm fire at a vacant home under construction spread to two neighbouring properties in North York early Friday morning.
Toronto Fire Services crews responded to the blaze near York Mills Road and Bayview Avenue, at approximately 2 a.m. Firefighters arrived to find the house fully engulfed in flames. The property was undergoing construction and was unoccupied when the fire broke out.
The flames extended to two adjacent homes, forcing residents to evacuate. A total of five people were displaced, including two occupants from one property and three from the other.
No injuries were reported.
Although firefighters managed to suppress most of the blaze, crews remained at the scene Friday morning to extinguish remaining hotspots and ensure the area was safe.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
