Twelve residents of the six-unit building were forced out by the fire, which spread quickly to the third floor and the roof.
About 120 firefighters were needed to battle the five-alarm fire said Montreal Fire Dept. chief of Operations Danny Ciavaglia, and it took three hours to bring the blaze under control,
The injured included a family of four with two very young children, according to Urgences Santé.
