A major fire razed a large historic building in the heart of downtown Magog in Quebec's Eastern Townships Tuesday morning.
The building was built in the early 1900s and had businesses on the main floor, with two floors of apartment units above.
Fifteen people are without a home because of the fire, but none of them were hurt. The city says a firefighter was lightly injured.

The nineteenth and early twentieth centuries saw a huge railway boom across the Eastern Townships. It was driven by the need to access raw materials, a desire for quick transportation, the growth of industry, and a mania to build more and more branch lines. Literally dozens of railway companies competed for territory and markets.
