PIERREFONDS-ROXBORO – Fifteen people were forced into the streets as Montreal firefighters battled a blaze in the borough of Roxboro, early Monday morning.
The two-alarm fire broke out around 1 a.m. in a triplex on Gouin Boulevard, near 2nd Street.
About 70 firefighters were on the scene; it took about three hours to get everything under control.
The blaze began on a balcony, spread to the rest of the building, and eventually to the neighbouring triplex.
Investigators are working to determine how the fire started.
There were no injuries.
