A fire ravaged a residence in the La Plaine sector, in Terrebonne, overnight from Sunday to Monday.
The alert was given shortly after 1 a.m. for a fire that started in the backyard of the residence located on rue Coursier, near rue du Bosquet.
When the firefighters arrived, it was already a general conflagration, but the blaze was still brought under control, while the damage caused by the flames is enormous.
The adjacent residences were also engulfed in flames, said a spokesperson for the Terrebonne Fire Department.
