Toronto Fire is battling a four-alarm fire at a North York home under construction Monday night.

Toronto Fire Capt. David Eckerman said the fire, which “fully engulfed” the home, was mostly put out at just before 10 p.m.

Eckerman said the call came in at 8:50 p.m. for a fire at 11 Altamont Rd., near Yonge St. and Finch Ave.

A caller described it as “a vacant unit under construction in a multi-unit housing complex,” he said.

The two-alarm fire was upgraded to a four-alarm one.

Eckerman said crews on the scene are having issues accessing the area because of construction fencing. The property also has a large square footage and crews are staying out of the collapse zone, he added.

“It’s mostly for manpower,” he said. “We know that there’s a lot of work ahead.”

The fire’s main body was “knocked down,” and crews are beginning to be cleared from the scene, Toronto Fire Chief Matthew Pegg said on Twitter at around 10:20 p.m.

The website for a development project by Heathwood at 11 Altamont Rd. advertises sophistication and luxury townhomes starting at $1.4 million.

No injuries were reported, although crews haven’t begun searching the interior so they can’t confirm the property was vacant, Eckerman said.

Altamont Rd. is closed in both directions from Finch Ave. E. to Hendon Ave.
