A shop belonging to Fort-Coulonge company Construction Dany Ladouceur went up in smoke early Saturday November 30, with the building and much of the equipment in it a total loss.
Owner Dany Ladouceur, himself a member of the Fort-Coulonge Fire Department, said that they got the call at around 2:30 a.m. Saturday and the building, located at 639 rue Baume, was fully involved when they arrived.
Capt. Michel Fortin of the Fort-Coulonge Fire Department, said that they as well as the Mansfield-et-Pontefract department responded with five trucks and roughly 30 firefighters, and they were on scene until about 10 a.m. ensuring no flare-ups occured. He said that the cause of the blaze was under investigation.
Ladouceur said that luckily his tool trailer was outside the shop, and hoped there would be minimal disruption to the jobs he and his three employees currently have on the go.
