A suspicious early-morning garage fire in a residential neighbourhood is being investigated by Gatineau police.
The fire began in a garage behind a bungalow on rue Sancerre, near boulevard Lucerne and chemin Fraser, shortly after 3 a.m., Friday.
Gatineau's fire department says the flames spread from the garage to a neighbouring shed, and that two homes were evacuated as a precaution.
The fire was extinguished and both homes' residents were allowed back inside.
Damage is estimated around $30,000.
Police will investigate the cause of the fire.
