Monkland Village restaurant catches fire

A fire broke out at Lucille’s Oyster Dive in the early afternoon on Wednesday. The fire on Monkland Avenue was brought under control after ninety firefighters fought it for three hours. Ten people were forced out of their homes once the fire started in the restaurant’s kitchen.

A cobbler and a jeweller on the building’s first floor as well as some apartments on the second floor were damaged. No injuries were reported and tenants were not allowed to re-enter their apartments.

Lucille’s Oyster Dive opened three years ago and is well-known in the Monkland Village.
