It took just over two hours for 25 firefighters from the Gatineau Fire Department to bring the flames under control on March 8 at a residence located at 1011 Klock Road in the Aylmer sector.

According to information gathered, a neighbour alerted authorities around 7:30 pm. Officers of the Gatineau Police Department (SPVG) responded immediately to the scene. According to Patrick Kenney, public relations officer for the SPVG, two people were evacuated and no one was injured.

“Since this is not a criminal incident, we will not be conducting any investigation,” said Kenney.

The damages totalled more than $265,740. However, thanks to the fire department’s rapid response, the garage and the parents’ apartment were spared significant damage.
