OT - fire in plateau right now

[danishh]

I've been staring out my window at huge clouds of black/grey smoke for the past 20 minutes.

I think the building is somewhere around st. urbain and des pins, maybe further northeast by a bit.

Anyone have a clue what it is?

[penopekoo]

yeah i saw it too. st urbain + pins is about right. i didn't go all the way up to it but there's tons of black smoke in the air. this is the third fire in the area in a short while. a building burned down a week ago on st famille, and there was apparently another one the same day. i wonder if there's someone going around setting fires?

well, i solved it myself (well, a friend walked there). It was an appartment bloc on st urbain and the top floor was on fire. I still see a ton of smoke, but its whiter now, so i think the fire is out.

not entirely sure, but i just got a place at deboullion and prince arthur with 4 bedrooms for $2000. I would assume a bachelor's would go for around $600 a month.

okay - basically what i thought, although it seems its still going. The smoke got darker again too.

The article is definitely wrong about the location though - its at st urbain and pins, not parc (I live on parc less than a block away from des pins).

As i am posting this i hear more fire trucks.

The Plateau was a nice area from what I saw while there. I stayed at one of the places for a couple weeks with a friend down on St. Urbain.

Oh, its near my work.

I'm at McGill university right now. I saw it, it's like 2 minutes away. At least there are 2 hospitals right next to the building.

Hopefully everyone is ok

from the 6th floor of the UQAM's President Kennedy Pavilion, it was huge, the smoke was thick and black...

not funny to see those kind of thing but i couldnt resist to laugh at the little TVA helicopter flying around
