An overnight fire destroyed three homes in Toronto’s Leslieville neighbourhood.

The homes , located on Minto Street in the Queen Street and Greenwood Avenue area, were under construction. The heat of the flames were strong enough to melt the siding on the hose across the street.

Two people had to be evacuated from an adjacent building but no injuries were reported.

The fire broke out at around 3 a.m. and took fire crews about two hours to get under control.
