Toronto firefighters say a person had to be rescued from a third-floor apartment window after a fire developed inside Sunday morning.
Emergency crews were called to the low-rise building on George Street, near Jarvis Street and Dundas Street East, just before 8:25 a.m. with reports of a fire.
A Toronto Fire Services spokesperson told CityNews said crews found a resident hanging from the window of the unit.
The spokesperson said the person was rescued with the assistance of a ladder on a fire truck.
The resident was taken to a hospital by paramedics with unspecified injuries.
Meanwhile, the Toronto Fire Services spokesperson said the fire didn’t spread beyond the unit. It’s not clear how the fire started.
