A woman has critical injuries after a two-alarm fire at an apartment building in East York.
Fire crews were called to the building on Millwood Road near the Don Valley Parkway just after 1 a.m. on Wednesday, for a fire in a first-floor unit.
Paramedics said the woman, believed to elderly, was rushed to a trauma centre. Her exact age is not yet known.
A fire official at the scene said the building is largely occupied by seniors, and that the fire alarms were working.
The Ontario fire marshal’s office is investigating.
At one point, the building was partially evacuated but the residents have since been allowed back in.
No other injuries were reported.
The fire has since been put out, but crews are conducting ventilation tests.
