Downtown Toronto building evacuated amid concerns that it could collapse: Toronto Fire

A portion of Dundas Street West near Kensington Market has been completely closed amid concerns that a two-storey building could collapse, police say.

The building is located on Dundas Street West near August Avenue.

Toronto Fire says that crews were first called to the area at around 10 a.m. for reports that a building appeared to be “leaning.”

Crews have since determined that the front façade and roof of the building has been compromised, Toronto Fire says.

Up to 10 people were inside the building at the time but have since been escorted to safety.

So far no injuries have been reported.

Dundas Street is currently closed between Augusta and Denison avenues.
