At least two people were sent to the hospital after a major fire in a Montreal skyscraper on Friday afternoon.
About 200 firefighters responded to the fire near the top of the 30-story Bell Media Tower
Firefighter Francis Leduc told CTV Montreal that four workers near the roof of the building had been treated on places and that two others had been transported to the hospital
"We immediately evacuated the building," Leduc
"The building itself became full of smoke, so it was harder to get out people, "he added. "It's even harder for us (because) we have to go through the stairs."
The Montreal Fire Department said on Twitter about 17 h 30. the local time when the fire had become a fire of five alarms. They asked people to avoid the area
