(Montreal) A fire that appears to be of criminal origin caused damage to a commercial building in Montreal located in the Mile End sector of the Plateau-Mont-Royal, late Sunday evening.
Posted at 6:11 a.m.
The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) specifies that the disaster did not cause any injuries.
Firefighters from the Montreal Fire Department (SSIM) were called to intervene after a call was made to the 911 emergency telephone center around 10:40 p.m. The fire had started in the building located on the Fairmount Avenue West, near the intersection of Park Avenue.
Firefighters contained the flames. No evacuations were reported.
Shortly after, the firefighters found on the spot that the origin of the fire seemed to be criminal. They therefore forwarded the investigation file to the SPVM arson squad.
In the middle of the night on Monday, the police were not yet reporting an arrest.
