    The Leclerc Detention Facility, which has housed a section of cells reserved for female inmates since February 2016, was the scene of a small fire on the evening of Thursday, April 24.

    It is worth recalling that this correctional facility, built in 1961, has officially been under provincial jurisdiction since September 2014.

    At around 9:08 p.m., a 911 call reported the delicate situation that had just occurred at the former Laval penitentiary, located on montée Saint-François in Saint-Vincent-de-Paul.

    For this intervention, Laval’s Fire Department dispatched four units — 14 firefighters and their officers — with the first crew arriving at the scene by 9:15 p.m.

    Firefighters headed toward the solitary confinement sector, where they noticed light smoke escaping from the door leading to a cell block.

    Upon reaching the source of the fire, the firefighters found that the prison staff had reacted promptly, managing to contain the fire within the cell where an inmate had deliberately set part of her own clothing on fire using a lighter.

    Before leaving, the firefighters conducted a few searches and checks of the area and ensured proper ventilation.

    Already under control, the fire caused only minor structural damage, estimated at approximately $200.

    Fortunately, the inmate involved did not suffer any injuries during the incident.
