Firefighters are working to extinguish a 4-alarm blaze at an industrial building in Rexdale.
Crews were called to the scene at 15 Bethridge Road, in the Rexdale Bouldvard and Islington Avenue area around 3pm.
The massive 20, 000 sq foot building is used as a mechanical repair garage for tractor trailers.
There have been explosions coming from inside. Officials say these are most likely propane and acetylene tanks.
Due to the cold and snow, the smoke is staying at ground level so crews are being forced to battle the flames from the outside ground level.
A no-fly zone has been set-up over the area. At this time, no injuries have been reported.
