The City of Longueuil issued a shelter-in-place notice to residents Tuesday evening due to a fire in the Saint-Hubert borough.

The notice is in effect for the area bordered by Cornwall Street and Payer, Gaétan-Boucher, and Maricourt boulevards due to the presence of smoke. The location includes an industrial area bordered by several residential streets.

The source of the fire is not clear. CTV News has reached out to the Longueuil fire service for more details.

Residents are being asked to stay indoors, to close their doors and windows, and to turn off their air exchangers until further notice.

City officials are on scene assessing the situation, but so far the city says there is no immediate danger to the public.
