A woman in her 50s was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation after a fire at a west-end highrise early Saturday morning.
The fire broke out inside an eighth floor unit at a building on Lawrence Avenue near Weston Road at around 1 a.m.
According to Toronto Fire Captain David Eckerman, the woman left the unit herself and sought assistance from neighbours on the ninth floor before being taken to hospital by paramedics.
Meanwhile, residents of the building were told to shelter in place as crews battled the fire.
The fire was then knocked down at around 1:30 a.m.
The cause of the blaze, which was contained to the eight floor unit, has not yet been determined.
