Crews battle house fire in Cabbagetown that spread to neighbouring homes

Firefighters battled a three-alarm fire at a home in Toronto’s Cabbagetown neighbourhood that spread to adjacent buildings.

Emergency crews were called to a house on River Street, just north of Gerrard Street East, around 6:05 a.m. on Wednesday.

Toronto Fire tells CityNews crews encountered the two vacant homes fully engulfed in flames with heavy smoke coming from the second floor of one of the homes. The fire eventually spread to neighbouring homes.

Officials say two residents were evacuated from one of the adjacent buildings. No injuries have been reported.

There is no word about what caused the fire.
