A three‑alarm fire tore through the Toronto Humber Yacht Club early Wednesday, sending heavy flames through the roof of the Etobicoke waterfront building.
Crews were called to 101 Humber Valley Road around 4:47 a.m. after reports of a commercial structure fire near the Humber River Recreational Trail. Firefighters arrived to find the building fully involved, with flames already punching through the roof.
Officials said what began as a two‑alarm response was quickly escalated to a three‑alarm fire as additional crews, equipment and water supply were brought in. Toronto Fire confirmed that no one was found inside or around the building, and no injuries have been reported.
Deputy Fire Chief Paul Fitzgerald said 27 trucks and 100 firefighters were called in to battle the fire, which is now under control. He also said the Ontario Fire Marshal has been notified.
Firefighters attacked the blaze from multiple sides and confirmed there was no fire extension beyond the main structure. Crews worked defensively to protect the building and the surrounding property.
Toronto Fire said the cause of the fire remains undetermined, and investigators will be on scene throughout the morning. Toronto police are also present as part of the response to large‑scale fires.
