D RUMMONDVILLE, Que. - Quebec
provincial police say three people
died in a fire in a Quebec apartment
complex Thursday.
Police are only confirming three bodies
were found, but did not immediately
provide identities or details about the
victims.
Eight other people were injured in
the fire in Drummondville, midway between
Montreal and Quebec City.
One witness to the fire described the
scene as " apocalyptic," with residents
screaming from their balconies.
The cause of the fire remained unclear
but was believed to have started
on the second floor of the three- storey,
30- unit building.
Provincial police Sgt. Aurelie Guindon
did not specify the extent of the injuries
suffered by the eight people.
" We're talking about three people
who are still missing, so maybe three
potential victims," she told a news conference
prior to the confirmation of
three deaths. " But we'll have to wait
until the search is over to confirm any
deaths."
Isabelle Sawyer escaped after people
knocked on her door to tell her to flee
her first- floor apartment.
" When we got out, I saw the flames,
the smoke," she told RDI, Radio- Canada's
all- news channel. " It was burning
like a house of cards. I heard people
screaming on balconies. It was apocalyptic."
About 50 firefighters from the town
and surrounding communities had the
blaze under control a few hours after it
began in the wee hours.
Georges Gagnon, head of the Drummondville
fire service, said smoke
filled the building quickly.
" When the firefighters arrived on the
scene, there were flames on the second
floor and a lot of smoke on the third,"
Gagnon said.
" There were people on balconies, so
the priority was getting to these people
and making sure they were safe and
sound."
Genevieve Guilbault, a spokeswoman
for the coroner's office, also said initially
it was too early to confirm deaths.
" There are two people from the coroner's
office here as well as a pathologist
who are working with provincial
police.
" It's meticulous and hazardous work
but we are working diligently, and so
far it's early but it's going well."
