A door and window manufacturer Abritek is nothing more than a pile of rubble. The building caught fire on Sunday night, in Saint-Georges, in Beauce.
The fire that started around 10:20 pm quickly got worse, so the vehicles parked near the factory also caught fire.
Firefighters have to work long hours in defensive mode to prevent the spread. Residents of a nearby home on 127th Street were evacuated due to the size of the fire.
The work of Saint-Georges firefighters became complicated because there was no fire hydrant in the area.
SOPFEU called
Firefighters sought help from firefighters from the neighboring municipalities of Saint-Prosper, Saint-Martin, Beauceville. SOPFEU was even called as reinforcements.
The cause of the fire has not been determined so far, but the plant is a total loss.
Abritek, which employs more than a hundred workers, however, has a second manufacturing plant in Saint-Georges.
