Lachine fire forces tenants from their homes

A five-alarm fire that ripped through several buildings in Lachine earlier today is now under control.

The Montreal fire department said two teenagers suffered minor injuries to their hands and three buildings are a complete loss.

Flames broke out behind a home at the intersection of Notre-Dame Street and 12th Avenue late Friday afternoon.

The fire department said the fire started in a barbecue.

Several homes were evacuated and about a dozen tenants are now in the care of the Red Cross.

Five residences and four businesses were damaged in total.
