A child and an adult have been taken to the hospital with minor injuries following a two-alarm fire in Scarborough late Monday afternoon.

The blaze broke out at a residential building in the Pleasant View neighbourhood, near Victoria Park Avenue and Finch Avenue East.

Toronto police and fire services were called to that area around 5:45 p.m.

The unit where the fire erupted has been evacuated and the fire is now out, police said.

Ernest Avenue was closed between Victoria Park and Chalet Road due to the fire, but has since reopened.
