4-year-old boy injured in Etobicoke house fire

A four-year-old boy was injured following a house fire in Etobicoke on Wednesday night.

Toronto Fire were called to a home on Tofield Crescent, near Kipling Avenue and Rexdale Boulevard, just after 10:30 p.m.

Fire officials tell CityNews that when they arrived, they were met with heavy smoke coming from the basement area of the home. Crews continued to fight the fire externally due to structural concerns.

Paramedics say they transported a boy with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Toronto police confirmed with 680 NewsRadio that the boy is four years old.

Two other patients were assessed for smoke inhalation. Several animals were also rescued from the home.

The cause of the fire is unknown, and the investigation is ongoing.
