Firefighters battle downtown Montreal blaze
Montreal firefighters battled a five-alarm fire in the city`s downtown area early Tuesday morning. The department was called to the building, which houses shops on the ground floor and apartments above, at the intersection of Sainte-Catherine and Towers streets at 2 a.m. More than 150 firefighters responded to the blaze, which initially started as a two-alarm fire but was quickly upgraded. 'The fire spread quickly. It's an old building from the 1900s,' Francis Fleury, section chief with the Montreal fire department, told Noovo Info. 'The fire is difficult to control, and firefighters are working hard to extinguish it.' A number of people were evacuated from the building and taken in by the Red Cross. Firefighters warn there could be ongoing outages in the area. 'The winds are causing the smoke to spread throughout the neighbourhood,' Fleury added. People are being asked to avoid the scene.
