Just before 6 p.m., a blaze broke out at a residence on Yardley Avenue in the Topham Park neighbourhood near Victoria Park and St. Clair avenues.

The fire was quickly upgraded to a two-alarm response as heavy smoke and flames spread to a neighbouring home. A vehicle parked in the driveway was also engulfed. Several nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution.

Toronto Fire reports that there were no occupants inside either of the affected homes, and no injuries have been reported. Crews remain on scene monitoring for hot spots.
