TORONTO — Chaos erupted at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Sunday evening after a fire near a security checkpoint led authorities to evacuate the area, but within a few hours operations were starting to return to normal. All U.S.-bound flights from Terminal 1 at Canada’s busiest airport were cancelled for the rest of the night, Pearson Airport announced on Twitter. Photos posted on social media showed thick smoke in parts of the airport, and television footage showed frustrated passengers crowding the terminal’s main concourse. Paramedics said one woman was taken to hospital in stable condition while another was treated at the scene and released. Police said no major injuries were reported and crews were working to clean up damage from smoke and water.
