Two firefighters were injured while fighting a residential fire in East York Monday evening.

Emergency crews were called to the area of Victoria Park Avenue and Yardley Avenue, just north of St. Clair Avenue just before 6:00 p.m.

Officials say the two-alarm fire spread to a surrounding house, forcing the evacuation of multiple homes nearby. Multiple occupants have been displaced and a vehicle was also damage in the blaze.

Toronto Fire later said two of their firefighters suffered injuries during the firefighting operations. The severity of their injuries are unknown.

The fire is now out and a firewatch is ongoing.

Yardley Avenue is closed between Victoria Park Avenue and Barron Road.

Fire Chief Jim Jessop wished the two firefighters a speedy recovery in a post on X saying, it was “a reminder of the dangers our crews face daily.”
