Firefighters were battling a five-alarm blaze in a four-storey residential building at the intersection of Ste-Cunégonde and de Lévis Sts. in the city’s Sud-Ouest borough on Sunday, with efforts continuing into the evening.

According to initial information from the Montreal fire department, the fire started around 3:30 p.m. on the roof of the concrete structure, an 80-unit condominium building in the Little Burgundy neighbourhood.

The intersection is just north of the Lachine Canal, not far from Atwater Market and Ste-Cunégonde Park.
