A single-story home on 66th Avenue in Chomedey suffered $140,000 in damages last Saturday evening after a fire was triggered by a malfunctioning electrical circuit panel box.
The Laval region’s 9-1-1 service received a call shortly after 10:30 pm as smoke was spotted wafting from the ground floor level as well as from the rooftop.
The Laval Fire Dept. reported they finally had the blaze under control a few minutes after 11:30 pm.
By then, an estimated $100,000 in damage had been done to the home’s structure and an additional $40,000 in damage to furnishings and other interior contents.
