5-alarm fire in east Montreal evicts 20 families, injures 2 police officers
A five-alarm fire burned Friday in Montreal's Longue-Pointe neighbourhood, in the east of the city.
The Montreal fire department (SIM) issued the first alarm for a fire at a three-storey strip mall at the intersection of Sherbrooke Street East and Carignan Avenue.
Montreal police (SPVM) report that the first call came in at 7:15 a.m. and officers quickly worked to evacuate the building. Around 20 families were forced out of their homes by the blaze and were taken in by the Red Cross.
The building's ground floor is occupied by businesses including a sushi restaurant, a tobacco store and a bar.
The SIM said the fire went to five alarm just under an hour later.
Police spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant said that two officers required medical attention for smoke inhalation. The officers were treated on scene and transported to a hospital as a precaution.
They're expected to make a full recovery.
