Aerial and ground rescue teams are looking for the two first responders, who went missing Monday afternoon while helping flooded residents
The search continued Tuesday for two Quebec firefighters swept away in floodwaters northeast of Quebec City, as heavy rains washed out roads and cut off homes in several regions across the province.
Public Security Minister François Bonnardel travelled to Baie-St-Paul, Que., a city under a state of emergency just south of St-Urbain, where he told reporters that the worst had likely passed but the situation would remain complicated for the coming days. The floodwaters from the Rivière du Gouffre sliced in half Route 138, the main road in the region, leaving residents stranded on either side.
