A major fire devastates an industrial building in Maskinongé. It was the Maskinongé facilities of the furniture manufacturer Bermex which fell prey to the flames.
The imposing plume of smoke is visible several kilometers away. Route 138 is closed at 215 Boulevard Ouest.
The causes of the incident are currently unknown. It is also unclear whether people were inside the building when the flames started. According to the Sûreté du Québec, the fire caused no injuries.
