A child is in critical condition after a fire broke out in a dwelling located above a family daycare center in Laval on Monday. Two other people, including a child, were also seriously injured.
Around 5:20 p.m., the Laval Fire Department was called to the scene of the fire, located on 8e street in the Laval-des-Rapides district.
Quickly, the fire which would have started in the accommodation located above the daycare was brought under control. The establishment below was spared.
