LONDON, ONT. -- A man has life-threatening injuries after a fire in an apartment building on Walnut Street in London.

Emergency responders were called to the building at 85 Walnut Street Sunday over the noon hour.

A neighbour noticed smoke coming out the door of a unit on the second floor and called 911.

Crews broke down the door to gain access.
