One person was taken to hospital for minor smoke inhalation following a house fire in the Weston and Sheppard area on Tuesday night.
Toronto police responded to a call at Imogene Avenue around 11:30 p.m. for reports of a fire in a shed behind a semi-detached home.
Platoon Chief Thomas Verhaeghe told CityNews when crews arrived, the shed was engulfed in flames. The fire had already spread to the home and ruptured a gas line, making it a gas-fed fire. It also spread to the attic shared with the neighbouring semi-detached home.
The fire was knocked down quickly and the residents of the home self-evacuated by the time fire crews arrived. No other injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
