Gatineau firefighters contain electric vehicle fire in high-rise garage
Gatineau firefighters say mechanical problems are likely to blame for the crash, adding a number of airport crew had to join the search for the plane. Gatineau firefighters kept a vehicle fire contained Sunday night, but the smoke it produced required evacuating a 12-storey high-rise. According to a news release, firefighters were called to the underground garage at 401 rue Champlain at around 8:40 p.m. on reports an electric vehicle was ablaze. A quick response kept the damage contained to the vehicle in question. The Gatineau fire service says, however, that around 400 people were told to evacuate because of the smoke. The scene was cleared three hours later and no one was reported hurt.
