SQ spokesperson Marythé Bolduc said emergency services were called at around 6 p.m. to Rang Sainte-Philomène for the fire. The two injured individuals were transported to hospital and their injuries were not considered life-threatening, police said.
Local reporting suggested the blast may have involved propane cylinders inside a warehouse, and that the fire destroyed the building, prompting a multi-municipality response from firefighters. The SQ remained on scene as authorities continued to assess the damage and determine the exact cause.
