A blaze deep inside an Etobicoke waste transfer station required 34 fire trucks and over 100 firefighters. The incident began just before 11 p.m. and was initially classified as a three-alarm fire, then upgraded to a "technical" five-alarm response due to the number of trucks and personnel deployed. Crews stayed through the night and the fire has been extinguished with no reported injuries. The extent of damage is unclear and Toronto Fire will provide an update Thursday morning. The Ministry of Environment and Toronto Emergency Management have been notified and will inspect nearby Mimiko Creek for possible water runoff. Road closures prompted traffic delays and crews are expected to remain on scene throughout the day. The spokesperson did not comment on a possible cause.
