A significant four-alarm fire tore through an automobile parts recycling centre in Laval over the weekend, with flames continuing to burn for more than fifteen hours after they first ignited.
Fire Erupts Late Saturday Night
The blaze began late on Saturday, November 30, 2025. Laval police confirmed they received a 911 call at 11:50 p.m. reporting the fire at Recyclage d’Autos Mondiale, located on Montée Masson in the St-François district at the eastern end of the municipality.
Long Battle for Firefighters
Fire crews faced an intense and prolonged battle against the flames. The fire was not brought under control until Sunday afternoon, despite the efforts of firefighters from Laval and neighbouring municipalities who were called in to assist. The sheer scale of the incident was evident, as smoke from the burning recycling centre was reportedly visible for miles.
Aftermath and Investigation
Authorities have confirmed that no injuries were reported in the incident. Fortunately, the fire did not spread beyond the initial structure, but the building itself is considered a total loss. A spokesperson for the Laval police has stated that the cause of the fire will be investigated to determine what sparked the devastating blaze.
