'It is really devastating': Over 20 boats destroyed in Laval marina fire

Share

A fire that tore through a Laval marina Sunday morning, destroying over 20 boats, is under investigation.

The sky was glowing orange when firefighters arrived at Marina BO-BI-NO's Saint-Francois location just after 4 a.m., according to Laval fire chief Christian Grand'Maison.

Firefighters heard several explosions as boats parked in the marina burned, he said.

"It is really devastating, honestly. I didn't expect this at all," said boat owner Anna Cavuoti.

Firefighters say the boats were packed closely together for the winter, allowing even a small fire to spread rapidly through the area.

No injuries have been reported.

Grand'Maison says the cause of the fire is unknown, and an investigation could take weeks.
