Quebec City's fire department said that at around 10:55 p.m., several calls were made to 911 to report a fire at a residential building on Gingras Street. According to Bill Noonan, spokesperson for the Service de protection contre l'incendie de Québec, dispatch details indicate that flames could be seen escaping from a residence and windows were bursting from the heat. A woman was also reported being on part of the building's front roof. Firefighters at the scene entered the burning building and located an unconscious man on the second floor, brought him outside and began resuscitation, Noonan explained in a statement. But the 54-year-old man was pronounced dead. "No smoke alarm sounds were heard by the first firefighters on the scene," Noonan said. He added that, when the first firefighters arrived, a woman was lying on the ground outside with burns. She was then taken to hospital. The fire was extinguished a few hours after it broke out. Around 60 firefighters were involved in the operation.
