Firefighters have now extinguished a blaze at an industrial warehouse in North York late Sunday night.
Crews were called to a warehouse on Ashwarren Road, near Keele Street and Finch Avenue, at around 9:45 p.m.
Heavy flames were discovered upon arrival and the fire was upgraded to a two-alarm blaze.
It was quickly knocked down, Toronto Fire told CP24, but crews continued to douse the building to control hot spots throughout the night.
No injuries were reported.
2 fires at same site in ‘recent days’: chief
In a post on X on Monday night, Toronto Fire Chief Jim Jessop said this is the second fire at that location in “recent days,” adding it is believed that they were both caused by lithium-ion batteries “in thermal runway.”
“The frequency and intensity of LIB fires continue to increase across our city, along with the risk to the public and firefighters,” he wrote.
