Montreal police investigating another vehicle on fire in Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough
Incident marks 3rd fire on de Louisbourg Street in 3 days
For the third time in as many days, a vehicle has caught fire on de Louisbourg Street in Montreal’s Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough.
According to Montreal police, firefighters were called to the scene around 1 a.m. on Monday after receiving a 911 report of a burning vehicle near the intersection of de Louisbourg and de Grenet streets.
Mariane Allaire Morin, spokesperson for the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM), stated that upon the firefighters' arrival, they found a vehicle on fire, which had also spread to another car parked behind it.
Firefighters discovered two additional fires on de Grenet Street, including a burning garbage can. While no evidence currently points to arson, Allaire Morin noted that, given the recent vehicle fires on the same street, the case has been handed over to the SPVM arson squad.
The two prior incidents involved a car fire on Saturday at de Louisbourg and de Tracy streets, and another vehicle set ablaze on de Louisbourg on Sunday.
Forensic experts are expected to examine the latest fire scene today, and the investigations into all three incidents are ongoing.
