According to the Association des Pompiers Laval (the Laval firefighters’ labour union), the incident was called in at 1:45 am as a code 10-09, meaning “help fully involved.”

Flames were seen shooting out of the 1 1/2-story industrial building, with the potential to spread to nearby structures.

The blaze was later declared to be under control.
