Firefighters are at the scene of a massive blaze near Keele Street and Finch Avenue West.

Footage from Chopper 24 showed large flames atop the residential building, just south of York University, at the fire's peak.

Photos taken by CP24 viewers show a plume of dark smoke visible from several kilometres away.

The fire started at a residence on Applebaum Terrance around 1:35 p.m. and then spread to a neighbouring townhouse.

Firefighters went onto the rooftop patio of a neighbouring residence to pour water on the flames.

No injuries have been reported.
