A convenience store in Montreal, known as “Depanneur Diablo,” was set on fire on Tuesday evening. Thanks to the quick actions of Montreal police officers, the blaze was promptly extinguished.
According to reports, the fire was started by an unknown individual who threw a Molotov cocktail into the store. The incident occurred around 9:30 pm on Tuesday, and fortunately, no one was injured.
The Montreal Fire Department was immediately called to the scene, but it was the swift response of the police officers that prevented the fire from spreading and causing further damage. The officers were able to contain the flames until the fire department arrived and fully extinguished the fire.
The owner of Depanneur Diablo, who wishes to remain anonymous, expressed their gratitude towards the police officers for their quick and efficient response. They also stated that they were relieved that no one was hurt and that the damage to the store was minimal.
The Montreal Police Department has launched an investigation into the incident and is currently searching for the suspect responsible for starting the fire. They are asking anyone with information to come forward and assist with the investigation.
This is not the first time Depanneur Diablo has been targeted. In 2018, the store was robbed at gunpoint, and in 2019, it was vandalized with graffiti. The owner believes that this latest incident may be connected to the previous ones.
