A woman is in hospital following a two-alarm residential fire in Scarborough.
Toronto fire crews were called to a two-alarm fire at a home on Coltbridge Court in the Kingston Road and Markham Road area just before 7 a.m. on Tuesday.
The Toronto Police Service initially said two adults were pulled from the home, which was engulfed in flames when first responders arrived. However, Toronto Fire Services (TFS) later said only one person was removed from the residence.

The fire is still active, and crews are working to contain it. Photos from the scene show the home with significant damage.
It’s unclear how the fire started, and it’s not yet known if the home had working fire alarms.
Gas and hydro have been shut off at the residence.
