Fire investigators are looking into the cause of a two-alarm blaze that destroyed a house that was undergoing repairs.
Firefighters rescued a dog after they were called to the century-old home on Follis Avenue, near Bathurst Street and Bloor Street West, on Wednesday, shortly after 1:30 a.m.
According to Fire Services, the stubborn blaze began on the second floor and spread into the attic. The roof eventually collapsed.
No injuries were reported.
Neighbouring homes were evacuated as a precaution, but they were spared from the blaze. One of the homes had some water damage.
A TTC bus was brought in to provide shelter to people who were forced to flee their homes.
