Urgences-santé couldn’t supply additional details as to the extent of the damages or the cause of the fire but said it took “about 70 firefighters” to get the fire under control.
I spoke with my mom, and thankfully she’s doing fine. Thanks to everyone who reached out and sent us well wishes. I’d also like to thank the first responders for their incredible work, and I’m keeping the other families affected by this fire in my thoughts today.
