Seven people injured in fire at Toronto building under construction: police
Seven people have been taken to hospital after a natural gas fire broke out at a building under construction in Toronto's north end Tuesday morning.
Police say emergency crews responded to a call for an explosion inside a building on Esther Shiner Boulevard near Provost Drive around 9:30 a.m.
Toronto paramedics say they transferred seven people to hospital with injuries ranging from minor to critical.
Paramedics say they are not releasing how many are in critical condition because that number is changing with time.
Police say all workers have been evacuated from the building.
Toronto Fire Services say crews remained at the scene of the incident and Ontario's Ministry of Labour was notified.
