Two people were rushed to hospital, including one firefighter, after an early-morning blaze at an apartment over a business in North York.
Firefighters were called to the building on Wilson Avenue west of Allen Road at around 3:20 a.m.
Upon arrival they encountered black smoke coming from the bottom floor and conducted a full search of the premises, according to Toronto Fire.
The two victims were then taken to a local hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries, paramedics say.
The fire itself was quickly knocked down, though the cause remains unclear.
