Firefighters are battling a four-alarm blaze Sunday morning at a historic church in Toronto's west end.
Toronto Fire said crews received report of a fire inside St. Anne's Anglican Church on Gladstone Avenue near Dundas Street West just before 8 a.m.
Adjoining properties were evacuated as a "safety precaution," Toronto Fire said, adding that the main body of the fire has been knocked down as of 9:55 a.m., with crews continuing to extinguish spot fires.
Water towers and crews were set up for exterior firefighting operations, they said earlier Sunday morning.
Police said they received reports of windows breaking and heavy smoke coming from the building.
Toronto Fire Services spokesman Deepak Chagger said there are no reports of occupants or injuries at the 124-year-old church in the city's Little Portugal neighbourhood.
