Firefighters are still putting out a blaze that began early Monday morning in Forest Hill.
At 5:30 a.m., 55 firefighters were called to a three-alarm fire at 8 Highbourne Rd.
"It hasn't been fully knocked down as of yet," Toronto Fire Services Public Information Officer, Capt. David Eckerman told CTV.ca in a phone interview later Monday morning.
Officials are beginning to scale back the 13 fire trucks that arrived at the two-storey home, but four adjacent homes remain evacuated.
Eckerman said fire officials didn't expect there to be any danger of the adjacent homes catching on fire, but evacuation is a normal course of action.
A primary search has been done of the affected house, and no one was home at the time of the fire, said Eckerman. The owner of the home has confirmed that six people are out of the house and all are safe, he said.
There were no reported injuries to firefighters.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, but the interior fire marshal has been called "due to the high dollar loss," said Eckerman.
The fire will not cause any delays on the surrounding roads, he said.
