No serious injuries have been reported following a two-alarm fire at the Windward Co-Op on Little Norway Crescent on Friday afternoon.

Toronto Fire says it was called to the three-storey building near Lake Shore Boulevard West and Bathurst Street just before 4:30 p.m. and were met with smoke and flames billowing out of a third-floor unit.

Photos and video from eyewitnesses at the scene show flames and smoke pouring out of a section of the building.

Toronto Fire conducted primary and secondary searches of the building, and residents managed to make it safely out while crews worked to contain the blaze. A TTC bus was brought in to provide shelter for those residents affected by the fire.

Operations at nearby Billy Bishop Airport were unaffected by the smoke and fire.
