Toronto Fire expects to be on scene of a six-alarm blaze in the Port Lands for several days.
The fire broke out just before 1 a.m. Thursday at a recycling facility on Cherry Street south of Lakeshore and Parliament and sent smoke billowing over the city. Green For Life (GFL) which owns the plant says it houses a solid waste transfer station and a place to separate recycled materials.
Two GFL workers were checked out by paramedics but were ultimately found not to be injured. By 10 a.m, the fire had been downgraded to two alarms. By noon it was deemed to be under control.
