“A very large fire.” This is why on April 18, 1910, the Montreal daily La Presse chose to report the event of the previous day on its front page. The City of Saint-Eustache had never experienced a fire of that size. The two-page article describes the consequences and repercussions of the fire on a regional Québec municipality and the importance of developing a Fire Safety Department in those municipalities.
