One person was taken to hospital after fire broke out in an eight-storey apartment block on Hendon Avenue Wednesday.

The city said firefighters were called to the building in Varsity View around 5 p.m. and fought the blaze from the exterior.

Most of the residents were outside by the time they arrived, but crews had to help some of them evacuate from their suites.

Five people were assessed and one was taken to hospital in stable condition.

Firefighters ventilated smoke from the building so residents could return to their suites.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
