No injuries have been reported after a fire broke out at a Queen Street West midrise building in downtown Toronto Tuesday.

Firefighters were called to 406 Queen Street West, between Spadina Avenue and Cameron Street, at around 10:50 a.m. after flames and smoke were seen on the roof of the building.

Frefighters quickly got to the roof and began dousing the flames. They could then be seen tearing apart some structures to check that fire had not penetrated deeper.

About a dozen firefighters could eventually be seen working on the roof of the building to ensure the fire had not spread.

The building has been evacuated, Toronto police said, Queen Street West is closed from Vanauley Street to Augusta Avenue as firefighters continue to check the building.
