TORONTO — A fire at Canada’s busiest airport has led to cancellations, delays and a few smoke-related injuries.

The blaze broke out Sunday evening in Terminal 1 at Toronto Pearson International Airport, leading authorities to evacuate the area.

It was extinguished a short time later, but the airport announced in a tweet that all flights to the U.S. scheduled to depart from Terminal 1 had been cancelled.

Peel regional paramedics say one woman was taken to hospital in stable condition, while another was treated at the scene.
