An empty house caught fire in Saint Eustache on Sept. 21, 2017

Firefighters say nothing can be salvaged after a house burned overnight in St. Eustache.

The fire began around 9:30 p.m. Thursday on 25th Ave. near Petit Chicot Rd. and before it was over, firefighters from five municipalities were called for assistance.

They managed to get the fire under control six hours after it began.
