A fire engulfed a public daycare in Lorraine, in the Laurentians, Wednesday night.
Bois-des-Filion firefighters received a 911 call at 10 p.m. about the blaze at Les Amis de Lorraine CPE on Belfort Street.
The department says the building is a total loss after flames quickly spread to the attic.
It is too early to say what could have caused the fire, but firefighters estimate the damage at more than $800,000.
Several neighbouring fire departments, including those of Blainville, Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Sainte-Thérèse, Terrebonne and Repentigny, were called in to help fight the blaze.
