No one was hurt on Friday as Toronto firefighters made it look so easy in putting out a two-alarm blaze in New Toronto.

The fire erupted on April 9 shortly after 11:30 a.m. in a townhome on Sixth Street, near Islington Avenue and Birmingham Street, close to the Toronto Police College.

Police had shut the north end of Sixth Street at Birmingham as crews fought the smoky blaze.

Dozens of area residents were out on the streets on a nice day to witness the fire and quick response by firemen.

Crews arrived to find heavy smoke and flames at the front door and on the property, according to Toronto Fire.

Firefighters had to tear down a large part of the ceiling to make sure the fire was extinguished.

Luckily, the fire did not extend to the homes on either side of the burning house.

The occupants were out of the home when crews arrived and no injuries have been reported.

Fire officials the dwelling will not be habitable for at least a day or two due to smoke.  No cause of the fire has been given at this time.

An estimate of the fire damage was not made available.
