TORONTO — International flights are on hold at Canada’s busiest airport after a fire.
The airport says no injuries have been reported after the fire at Terminal 1 on Sunday evening.
Peel regional police say the blaze has been extinguished, although there’s still significant amounts of water and smoke in the terminal.
The airport says passengers were evacuated from the affected area, and all international and U.S. aircraft are “holding at their gates.”
It’s urging passengers to check their flight status before coming to the airport.
There’s no word on what caused the fire.
