A fire fully engulfed a home in the eastern part of Mississauga at around noon on Thursday.

Peel Regional Police Const. George Tudos said emergency crews were called to Forest Fire Crescent, west of Cawthra Road and Highway 403 at 11:48 a.m., for a report of a fire.

Tudos said the flames are generating a large amount of smoke. No injuries have been reported thus far.

Student and staff at two nearby schools, John Cabot Secondary School, and St. Vincent De Paul Catholic Elementary School, have been ordered to stay indoors because of the smoke.

Forest Fire Crescent is closed to vehicle traffic, Tudos said.
