A man with life threatening injuries was found in a home engulfed in fires in the L’Amoreaux neighbourhood in Scarborough.

Toronto fire services spokesperson Capt. David Eckerman said the fire crew got the call around 7:08 p.m. from a passerby who reported a fire at 26 Andes Rd.

The house is located at lendower Circle and Andes Road near Finch Avenue East and Birchmount Road.

“When we arrived, the second floor was fully engulfed and a second alarm was called,” said Capt. Eckerman. “We went into a defensive attack.”

Fire services reported that they had to wait outside because the fire was too intense.

After the fire was put out, the fire crew went in and found the victim unconscious on the second floor, after which he was transferred to paramedics, Capt. Eckerman said.

Fire crew is currently at the scene clearing out the trucks.

Toronto fire investigators have been notified and will be investigating the scene to find the cause of the fire.
