MONTREAL | Two people have been bothered by smoke following a fire quickly mastered that occurred Thursday evening in an apartment building in the neighborhood of Rosemont in Montreal.

Police assisted the fire brigade to evacuate a thirty people, including people with reduced mobility, in this building, which houses the Collection for trisomy 21.

Only one of the two people bothered by the smoke and was transported to the hospital, the spokesman for Urgences-santé Steve Fiset speaking of an “inhalation minor” in an interview with the QMI Agency.

One person remained trapped on his balcony, by the time the firefighters put out the flames that would have taken birth in a lodging on the third floor.

The cause remained unknown at the end of the evening, when all the tenants had returned to their homes.

Buses from the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) have been deployed near the building, located at the intersection of boulevards Saint-Joseph and Saint-Michel, to enable evacuees to wait in the warm.
