A fire caused significant damage to a residence on Route Principale in the village of Sainte-Séraphine on Wednesday morning.
Firefighters from the Kingsey Falls Fire Safety Service (SSI) were alerted shortly after 8 a.m. “It was the residents who called 9-1-1 when they noticed the presence of smoke,” said the director of the SSI, Yannick Desruisseaux.
When firefighters arrived, the three residents were able to evacuate, but they were bothered by the smoke. “They were taken by ambulance to the Hôtel-Dieu in Arthabaska to receive appropriate care,” said Director Desruisseaux.
The fire started in the basement and quickly spread. “We made a quick attack to quell the fire, but the smoke spread everywhere. The damage amounts to nearly $100,000,” the officer said.
Six puppies, unfortunately, did not survive.
Thirteen firefighters from Kingsey Falls responded to the call and eight firefighters from Saint-Félix-de-Kingsey intervened to help.
The intervention ended around 11 a.m.
The fire is believed to be of accidental origin, but the cause has not been precisely identified.
