A two-alarm fire sent one person to hospital with minor injuries early Tuesday morning in a residential building near Bastion Street and Fort York Boulevard.
Toronto Fire Services received the call just before 2 a.m. and found smoke drifting through a hallway on one of the building's upper levels. Firefighters quickly located the source in a single unit where thick smoke was pushing into the corridor. Paramedics transported the unit's resident to hospital with minor injuries.
Crew members entered rapidly and extinguished the flames before the fire could spread to neighbouring apartments. The cause remains undetermined; investigators are expected to examine the unit later Tuesday. No other injuries were reported.
