Three-alarm fire destroys home in Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood

Firefighters are on the scene of a three-alarm blaze in Toronto's Beaches neighbourhood.

Toronto Fire will be investigating the cause of a three-alarm fire that gutted a Beaches home early Friday morning.

The fire broke out at around 3:40 a.m. at a home on Kippendavie Avenue, near Queen Street East and Woodbine Avenue.

According to first-responders, crews arrived to find a fully involved residential fire. The blaze had also spread to an electric vehicle in front of the home and two adjacent houses.

Nine people were evacuated from all three residences and no injuries were reported, Toronto Fire said.

Division Commander Steven Darling said at the height of the blaze, 32 trucks were on scene.

“The fire has been contained now to the original house of origin,” he told reporters on Friday morning.

There is no word on the cause.

“It is hard to say where the fire started. We are going to do an investigation afterwards,” Darling said.

“There is going to be extensive damage to all three of the homes that were involved, particularly the one in the middle, which looks like it is going to be totally gutted.”
