A major fire destroyed at least one commercial building in the centre of Saint-Roch-de-l’Achigan in Lanaudière Monday morning.
Despite the strength of the fire, no one was injured.
The cause of the fire, which started shortly after midnight in a department store on Main St., has not yet been determined. A person dressed in black was seen fleeing the scene shortly after the start of the blaze.
Five buildings were affected by spreading flames.
Seniors who reside in a neighbouring building were moved to the basement of a church.
