LONGUEUIL | Three families were thrown into the street on Christmas eve due to a fire in a residential building of the rue Poincaré, near the Chambly road, Longueuil.

The heating element of a stove left unattended was the cause of the disaster which is declared a little before 23: 30, Sunday evening. The fire then spread to the rest of the three-storey building.

Three units of the building – which are about thirty of them – have been damaged and one of them would be a total loss. The damage is estimated at $200,000.

The Red Cross has supported people who have lost their homes.

No one was injured during the incident.
