Man Sets Apartment Ablaze, No Injuries

0:00It's April 24th. This is Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Coring with the Story. A man in Verdun is recovering in the hospital after allegedly setting fire to his own apartment on Moffit Street near Verdun Street. Firefighters got the call around 1.15 pm and a two-story residential building, and they managed to keep the flames from spreading beyond his unit. Crews called for a second alarm just after 3.30 pm to get extra hands on deck. But they contained the blaze pretty quickly after that. The whole building got evacuated as a precaution, but luckily no one was hurt in the chaos. He's now under mental health evaluation at the hospital, and authorities might hit him with charges depending on what they find. Fire officials are still piecing together the full picture, but for now, residents are safe and the block dodged a bigger disaster.
