The origin of the fire that ravaged a building at condos under construction Thursday in the east of Montreal is considered to be suspicious by the authorities.

People were spotted throwing waste in the vicinity. Shortly after this event, the fire and the suspects had left the scene.

The construction of the building located on rue Bossuet, near the corner of the avenue Pierre-De-Coubertin, was on the verge of being completed when it was reduced to ashes by the raging fire.

The flames have taken birth in the late afternoon to the interior of the building and had spread extremely quickly.

The huge plume of smoke which emitted from the blaze was visible from downtown Montreal and the South Shore.
