Toronto police say a male has been sent to hospital with life-threatening injuries after a fire at an apartment complex in North York on Tuesday night.
The two-alarm blaze was reported just after 7 p.m. on the 10th floor of a residential high-rise at 5949 Yonge Street near Cummer Avenue.
In an update, Toronto Fire Chief Matthew Pegg said the male was the lone occupant in the apartment at the time.
He’s currently in hospital in critical condition.
The fire was contained to one unit and was quickly extinguished by firefighters.
“Residents are now being allowed to return to their units,” Pegg said. “Our crews will remain on scene as operations and investigations continue.”
