The fire department was called just after midnight to a building on Brunswick Boulevard near Selkirk.

Firefighters on scene discovered evidence of a break-in and accelerants in the building which prompted them to hand off the investigation to Montreal police.

“It appears that only one office in the building was targeted by the arsonist(s),” said Montreal police spokesperson Manuel Couture.

“The fire was put out quickly by the sprinkler system, it is mostly water damage inside the building.”
