A single-family dwelling on Saint-Judes Street in Chomedey was destroyed by fire during the early morning hours of October 23 during a blaze that culminated with the building being declared a total loss.
The City of Laval’s 911 service received the call shortly after 5 am that the two-storey house on Saint-Judes near the corner of Lévesque Blvd. and Promenade des Îles was on fire.
By the time firefighters arrived around ten minutes later, flames had spread throughout the structure, generating a large amount of smoke.
Four people living in the house were rendered homeless and total damage was estimated by the Laval Fire Dept. at around $740,000, including the value of the building and its contents.
The LFD transferred responsibility for an investigation of the cause to the Laval Police.
