A restaurant fire forced a full evacuation of a three-storey commercial-residential building overnight Thursday in the Rosemont borough of Montreal.
The fire broke out after 3 a.m. on the ground floor of a building on Bélanger Street, near 28th Ave.
The flames then quickly spread to the second and third floors, which forced the evacuation of those living in apartments there.

Around 70 firefighters from the Montreal Fire Department (SIM) were called to extinguish the blaze.
There were no reported injuries, and the Red Cross was sent to help those affected by the fire.
The extent of the damage is unknown, and the investigation is ongoing.
