A fire that swept through a heritage building in downtown Montreal was brought under control Saturday about 42 hours after it first began, the city’s fire department said.

The blaze broke out late Thursday afternoon at the Monastère du Bon Pasteur, a 19th century former monastery, and quickly became a five-alarm fire requiring the intervention of 150 firefighters.
