Fire in Longueuil highrise complex forces 200 into street

A fire that broke out in the electrical room linking two highrise apartment blocks forced 200 of the complex’s residents into the street early Wednesday.
The evacuation took place in an orderly fashion despite the cold. There were no injuries reported and residents were able to return to their homes before sunrise.
Longueuil’s fire department said the fire broke out at around 2:45 a.m. for reasons that had yet to be determined.
Smoke was detected on many of the floors of the complex,
