A man in his 20s is in hospital with serious burns after a fire broke out in what police say is a drug lab in the city's east end Friday.
Around 4 p.m., Toronto Fire Services responded to a report of smoke coming from a multi-storey brick house on Craven Rd., in the area of Coxwell Ave. and Gerrard St.
Smoke and flames were visible from the second-floor window when fire crew arrived. A man was found outside the building suffering second and third-degree burns and was transported to Toronto East General Hospital.

Several homes in the area were evacuated as a safety precaution. A specialized clean-up team also arrived to remove the chemicals.
Damages to the building are estimated at $75,000.
