The Granby Fire Department was alerted to a major fire at 25 Saint-Joseph Street on Tuesday morning, but by the time firefighters arrived to tame the flames the apartment building had already suffered irreversible damage.
According to Granby Fire Department Director Simon Boutin, the fire broke out at roughly 7:02 a.m. with about 50 firefighters from Granby, Waterloo, Bromont and Shefford rushing over to help to douse the flames. It took over an hour to calm the fire and secure the building.
“It was a fire in a building with commercial businesses on the first floor and apartments on the second and third floor. When we arrived the fire was breaking out, and it was bursting through the entrance of the building, so we intervened quickly to fight the flames,” Boutin explained.
