Fire rips through Hotel Lac Carling in the Laurentians [Video]

A major fire ravaged the Lac Carling Hotel in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge in the Laurentians, Que., overnight Saturday.

Fire departments from five municipalities, including Hawkesbury, Ont., responded. Though the damage is extensive, no injuries were reported.

Mayor Tom Arnold said about 50 per cent of the hotel was destroyed. 

The cause of the fire is still unknown and an investigation is ongoing.

Videos online showed the massive blaze near the border between Quebec and Ontario.
