The Laval Fire Department has mandated the Laval Police Department to investigate whether there were any criminal motives behind two fires since 2017 at side-by-side businesses on Curé Labelle Blvd. – the second of which destroyed a bar during the night of Tuesday May 5.
The first business, the former Soouund Bar at the corner of 81st Ave., was destroyed by a fire in March 2017. Firefighters responded to another fire this past Tuesday around 10:30 pm and were confronted with a blaze that was already out of control. They estimated the building to be a write-off, with damage amounting to around $200,000.
