Before firefighters were able to knock down the blaze, the roof of the residence partially collapsed, Toronto Fire said.
One person was rescued from the home and taken to a trauma centre in critical condition. Paramedics told CP24 that the victim is believed to be a man in his 60s.
Three people made it out of the house on their own.
