Toronto firefighters are battling a three-alarm fire at a Scarborough Recreation Centre.

Emergency crews were called to the Agincourt Recreation Centre on Glen Watford Drive, near Midland Avenue and Sheppard Avenue East, just before 4:45 p.m. on Thursday.

A spokesperson for Toronto Fire Services told Global News it’s believed the fire started in a mechanical room at the facility.

Weather conditions have posed a challenge for responding crews, the spokesperson said.

Toronto police said the building was evacuated and there were no reports of injuries.

City of Toronto spokesperson Brad Ross said the recreation centre is the second busiest facility in Scarborough.

“Nearly 3,000 registrations in the winter session for more than 400 different courses in addition to drop-in programs,” he noted on Twitter, adding it’s currently unclear how this will impact operations in the near future.

More to come.
