The incident occurred on the morning of Wednesday, July 2, with the 911 emergency call placed at 8:57 a.m.
The Laval Fire Department (SSIL) dispatched four units to the scene, including 14 firefighters and their officers. The first responders arrived at 9:02 a.m. and quickly observed visible flames beginning to spread to the building’s structure.
Preventing the Worst
Thanks to a combination of water application and exploration work, firefighters were able to stop the fire’s progression and limit the damage to the home’s exterior. The flames were prevented from reaching the interior of the residence, located just east of Boulevard des Laurentides in the Pont-Viau residential area.
The fire was fully brought under control by 9:19 a.m. Despite the swift intervention, it caused an estimated $10,000 in structural damage and $2,000 in damage to the building’s contents.
Following the event, the Laval Fire Department reminds residents of the importance of taking all necessary precautions when performing welding near combustible materials.
