Montreal firefighters responded to a large downtown fire overnight.
Authorities issued their initial advisory of a "first-alarm" fire at Sainte-Catherine W St. and McGill College Av. at around 11:40 p.m. Saturday.
That classification was soon updated to a "fourth-alarm" blaze at around 2 a.m., requiring about 105 firefighters and 31 vehicles.
The cause of the fire is still unknown, and the case has been turned over to the Montreal police.
Large flames and smoke were visible from blocks away. The fire began next door to Montreal's iconic, and now also vacant, "Super Sexe" club, which sustained some damage.
