Two people were brought to a hospital and four dogs were rescued from a Scarborough house fire late Friday afternoon.
Toronto Fire Services (TFS) were called to the area of Ellesmere Road and Scarborough Golf Club Road just after 4 p.m. for a 2-alarm fire.
Heavy flames were spotted at the back of a detached house, TFS said.
Both residents made it out of the home without injuries and were brought to a hospital for observation.
Fire fighters rescued four dogs that were inside at the time of the blaze but say that three others are unaccounted for. Acting District Chief Brad Goodwin says its possible that the pets escaped and are running around the neighbourhood.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known and is under investigation. No other details were provided.
