A fire at 27 Whitewood Road, one street west of Bayview Ave. between Davisville Ave and Millwood Rd. has caused an unknown amount of damage. No one was hurt. A neighbour said the owner, who was not home at the time, has been renovating the two-storey house. Firefighters were called to the two-alarm blaze after someone noticed the smoke at about 3 a.m. Fire crews forced their way into the house and encountered flames in the basement and on the first and second floors. City News said that a second-floor ceiling joist was compromised and the first floor was sagging. Because of unsafe conditions, all crews were ordered to exit the house and they battled the fire from the exterior, a fire official said. Photos Sue Byford, Tony Smyth
