A fire of undetermined origin was raging Tuesday night at the fire station in the town of Rawdon, 60 kilometres north of Montreal.
About 40 firefighters from surrounding municipalities were called to combat the blaze. They managed to drive the station’s fire trucks from the burning building. The volunteers who operated the vehicles were not in the building at the time.
The fire station is an older building and that is making it more difficult to extinguish, reports said.
A Sûreté du Québec spokesperson was unable to provide further details.

Here is a video of the Dorwin waterfall in Rawdon,maybe it will bring back some memories for some of you,as there were lots of people from Verdun who make there way to Rawdon as an escape from the City.

Well I'm no detective ,but I think I'd be at least having a talk to the guy who shot this video, as he is the same user who posted the Fire Department Video,.....probably a coincidence but worth asking a few questions about fires at 3 am -ish and he happens to get footage ?
Well we thank him for being up & grabbing the camera...Cheers !! HF&RV
