Empty building burns in NDG
A vacant building was the site of a four‑alarm fire overnight, a hundred firefighters called to the scene. The lede says it was criminally set.
Looks like this was the building. The Google Streetview photo shows it’s been abandoned for some time – a building that could’ve been occupied all this time, during a housing crunch. How many more of them are there around town?

There was also a small fire last night at Copie 2000 on Avenue du Parc near Laurier, which I haven’t seen elsewhere reported. It caused a neighborhood power outage. The building is stone, and the only evidence of the fire I could see from across the street was plywood in the place of the front door (which perhaps was knocked down by firefighters, to gain entry).
