Five people living in a Cote des Neiges home will have to find a place to stay for the time being following a fire.
Firefighters say the fire broke out in the basement of the home on Lacombe Avenue near Westbury just before 9:00 Saturday night. It caused about $25,000 worth of damage, though fortunately no one was hurt.
Thousands of Hydro-Quebec customers in the area were without power for several hours because of the blaze.
It is not yet known how the fire started.
