The Carrefour des Aubaines of the Relais Communautaire de Laval, located in Pont-Viau, was the scene of an electrical fire on the evening of Wednesday, April 8.
A failure or defect in the electrical wiring installed within the walls is what sparked the blaze in this business, which has been operating for six years in service of the community.
At 9:44 p.m., 911 was alerted to the incident, while the first of seven units dispatched by the Laval Fire Safety Service—26 firefighters and their officers—arrived on scene barely two minutes later.
At that time, smoke and flames were visible inside the building located on Boulevard des Laurentides, slightly south of Rue Grenon East.
Upon arrival, firefighters launched a rapid and effective attack on the flames, quickly stopping their spread and containing the fire to the front section of the business.
It should be noted that the premises were unoccupied at the time of the fire.
Despite the efforts of firefighters, who brought the blaze under control at around 10:22 p.m., the incident resulted in estimated damages of approximately $100,000 to the building and $50,000 to its contents.
Officials at the Relais Communautaire de Laval confirm that the Carrefour des Aubaines will temporarily close and is not expected to reopen before at least next week.
