Hello SunDude,

Just wanted to let you know that Pigeon Performance was burnt down a few weeks back. I do not know the status of the shop, but I heard it was a total loss.

Frank, what terrible news that is for Michel and his customers!

Looks like the fire, which started accidentally on Easter weekend, completely destroyed his business and any Cobras that were inside the garage at the time. Total damages of $500,000. At least no one was hurt.

Some posters on other forums said that he was fully insured and is planning to re-open later this year. I wish him well.

Here are some YouTube links and articles about the carnage.
Fire engulfs Ste. Julienne garage
By Monique Muise, The Montreal Gazette
April 3, 2010

MONTREAL – No one was injured when a major fire engulfed a garage in Ste. Julienne, about 60 kilometres north of Montreal in Lanaudière, early Saturday afternoon.

A spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec confirmed the fire started around noon and spread to a nearby home. The blaze was under control by 6 p.m.

The garage, Pigeon Performance, is located along Route 125 in Ste. Julienne.


Quelques instants après le début de l’incendie.
Pigeon Performance s’envole en fumée

L’un des fleurons commercial de Sainte-Julienne, Pigeon Performance, a complètement été détruit par un incendie quelques heures avant Pâques. Un incendie d’une rare intensité a totalement rayé de la carte Pigeon Performance, le spécialiste des voitures Cobra. L’incendie, de nature accidentelle, a débuté vers 15 h 40. Lors de la l’arrivée des pompiers, la caserne étant située juste en face de l’entreprise, les flammes avaient déjà une longueur d’avance sur les sapeurs. « Nous avons été surpris de
l’ampleur de l’incendie. Une épaisse fumée noire se dégageait et les flammes avaient envahi l’ensemble de la structure. », a indiqué le chef du service de Sainte-Julienne. », Éric Ducasse. Les pompiers de Rawdon et de Saint-Esprit ont été appelés en renfort pour combattre le feu. « C’est l’une de nos bonnes sorties. », a ajouté M. Ducasse. Ce n’est que vers 21 h 30 que le brasier a été éteint. Heureusement, personne n’a été blessé lors de cet incendie. Une personne, qui était dans l’appartement au-dessus du garage, a pu quitter les lieux.

Voitures de collection
L’entreprise de Michel Pigeon est une perte totale. Selon nos informations quelques véhicules de collection ou en voie de la devenir ont pu être sauvés des flammes. Au bas mot, on estime les pertes à plus de 500 000 $.
