A two-alarm fire at a Scarborough highrise on Saturday evening forced some residents out of the building, Toronto police say.

It was the second fire in 24 hours for Toronto after a five-alarm blaze left one dead and multiple floors of a 15-storey building in North York scorched.

On Saturday, Toronto police said the apartment at Sewells Road and Brenyon Way had flames coming off one balcony, and that fire crews had ordered evacuations. No injuries were reported.
