If you have a flight booked for today — or you're picking someone up at the airport — Toronto Pearson says a Sunday morning fire near the airport is not on airport property and is not affecting flights.

Planes continue to take off and land safely, the airport said.

"Toronto Pearson is aware of an active fire located off airport property," the airport said on its official X account.

"There is currently no impact to operations. Aircraft are continuing to land and depart safely."

A video posted on social media shows black smoke coming from a commercial building north of the airport, with fire crews on scene.
