LAVAL – A violent fire caused nearly a half-million dollars in damage Tuesday morning, in the district of Chomedey in Laval.

Thirty firefighters were dispatched to the scene to control the blaze.

The building affected by the fire is a total loss, while the nearby residence has suffered major damage.

No one was injured.
